The-Last-Escape Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 i am designing a member login program and am having problems working out how to lay out the DB. i have a maintenance option, where they fill in a form and it adds it to a db, would it be best to have 1 maintenance table with all of the members queries etc in it or a seperate table for each member? but i will need to be able to reply to the queries and have them stored too. so should i use a maintenance post table and then have a replies table, or should i have a table that has all the members and all of their posts in it?

tauchai83 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 it is up to you. For me, i will us one table. If your application is small, then you can have many table as you like. When the application is big, normally i try to reduce the number of tables. It doesn't mean i ignore the NORMALIZATION process. It is up to you.
