Separate list of participant skills

Hi there, I would like to maintain a list of “participant skills” in a separate table. A person could have one or many skills. There would be several dozen skills initially – over time I want people to be able to add new skills using a form. I would want to allow filtering participants with specific skills by choosing from a list of skills.

Creating new fields in the participant record is a clumsy way to do this and a pain to maintain. Will the relational database add on allow me to create and maintain a separate “skills” table.

thanks!
