bigtimslim Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I'm making a site with a user system. It seems like I often see databases with a user table and a linked profile table. Why is this done instead of putting that info in one table?

JasonLewis Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Personal preference. But usually a profile has a lot of fields and it's easier to have a separate table for all the profile fields then just have the more important information in a user table.
