One or more tables?


The Little Guy

Recommended Posts

I am not sure what the best approach to this would be...

 

A. Have multiple tables all with the same columns, but each table will be for a specific category, such as: health, science, programming, general, etc..

 

OR

 

B. Have one table with everything in there, and a column for the category id, which will be a foreign key to a category table.

 

I don't know what would be the fastest way, because I am planning to have millions of values in the table(s), and I am going to be using a Full Text Search on the question column.

 

So what way would be for optimum speed?
