Comment (by Otto42):

 The "groups" column seems unnecessary to me. Why does the parent post of
 these attachments need to know how many groups there are? What happens
 when you have it say "2" but there's actually an attachment with a
 group_number of "3"?

 My suggestion would be to simply add a "post_group" column to posts. Make
 it a bigint(10). Attachment posts can get grouped together by virtue of
 all having the same value in that post_group column. The parent post of
 them can leave it blank.

 Additionally, with this plan, the group column is more generic. It can be
 used for other things as well, if you want to group any set of posts
 together in some fashion in the future. Much like the term_group column.
