S Murder Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I'm making a site and will have a table that will store a user's contact info, display preferences, and more. In normal form they should all be on the same table, but I anticipate that eventually I might have a hundred rows on each profile table. Aside from being less human readable, will it be any slower? Would it be better to use separate tables with foreign keys referencing a main profile table for different categories of information? If there's less rows, won't SQL use less memory when performing table joins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
