samona Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I have a database Where I will need to join 5 tables in order to get all the information I want. Is that a problem with my relational database, or is it OK? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/107631-is-it-bad-design-to-join-5-tables/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul2463 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 the whole idea is to reduce the size of data that is stored, if you have 5 tables that are normalised and dont produce any duplicated information then it is quite all right to use a query that joins the five tables to get the dynamic information Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/107631-is-it-bad-design-to-join-5-tables/#findComment-551866 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a problem with my relational database, or is it OK? Like paul said, as long as these tables should really exist separately, you're probably ok Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/107631-is-it-bad-design-to-join-5-tables/#findComment-552697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
