It's still not entirely clear (to me, anyway)
Do you want something where every day, each user can:
1. Select their "default property"
OR
2. Select from a shortlist of other properties
OR
3. Not select anything
CREATE TABLE properties (
pid serial,
name text,
PRIMARY KEY (pid)
);
CREATE TABLE user_default_property (
uid int NOT NULL REFERENCES users,
pid int NOT NULL REFERENCES properties,
PRIMARY KEY (uid)
);
CREATE TABLE user_property_choices (
uid int NOT NULL REFERENCES users,
pid int NOT NULL REFERENCES properties
PRIMARY KEY (uid)
);
That allows you to have 0 or 1 defaults per user and 0 or 1 choices per
user too.
