A question of table design


sinbad

Recommended Posts

Hi,
I want a table of all countries including the names of the countries in different languages.

Please tell me which design is better

1) countries (country_id, language_id, country_name)
In design No 1, I will have three fields, but 200 records for each language, so that 1400 rocords for 7 languages

2) countries (country_id, eng_name, fre_name, spa_name, Ger_name, etc )
And in this case I will have no more than 200 rocords, but an extra field for each language.

Please tell me what do  you think.

Regards
Sinbad
