Hi all,
I have a question about database design best pratice.
In my db I have about one hundred tables like this:
code
description
To avoid to have a so great number of similar tables in the db
I wonder if it is a good idea to unify all these tables in one big table
like this:
id
code
table_ name
description
The advantages are:
1. only one table in the db instead of 100
2. only one controller to manage the table
Could this be a way to enhance db performance?
Is there any negative point that I don't see?
Thanks for any comments.
