First time I see a program where database contain tables where each table has 100 to 200 columns .

my question
1. is this normal ?
2. will making more columns give better performance ? than more tables?

Hi

It's always better to have more tables that are linked to the keys

If you use select * or hread??? functions you will read all the columns and probably you only need some of them, the network traffic is huge without any need.

If you use queries and only get the columns you need it's not a major problem if your indexes are well defined.

Thats essentially correct but on a table with 200 columns the number of indexes could well be 50+
This will cause a serious overhead when CRUD operations are performed.

Of course this could come from a 'Big Data' type DB where, I'm led to believe, anything goes pretty much.

Hi DerekT,

Not Big Data, just normal MS SQL . if you familiar with "EXACT" , take a look at the DB , many of tables contain more than 100 columns . if that not make complicate, the table, columns and fields name not in english :rp:

I notice one advantage of having all in one table , locking record become easy.
