thanks everyone for the solution

Hi. I am creating a database where a user can store up to 50 names of their family members. I have two table structures in mind and curious which one is the more efficient structure. ==================================================================================================== TABLE A: userid-firstfamilymemberid-firstfamilymembername-secondfamilymemberid-secondfamilymembername Note:(the columns would repeated until the fiftiethfamilymemberid and fiftiethfamilymembername for a total of 101 columns) TABLE B: userid-familymemberid-familymembername ====================================================================================================== which is more efficient... Table A which would have more columns but less rows or Table B which would have less rows but more columns.. also keep in mind that the fixed amount is 50 family members per a user. Thanks in advance.
