Hi all.
I've got a database still in the development stage. The structure was already in place and my job at the moment is to convert it from MS Access to MySQL. My question is one of structure and efficiency. Currently, there's in the neighborhood of 26 tables, of this number there are two main types(with various sub-types), the 13 obj tables and 13 min tables. My thought is to combine the 13 obj tables and 13 min tables to 1 obj table and 1 min table(foregoing the sub-types). So my question is...
Is it more manageable/efficient to have more tables with fewer data entries, or fewer tables with more data entries?
