lets say i have a mass of data to put into a database record that is all related by one common element, and none of the individual pieces of data are related to each other in any way.
is it better to store the record in 1 table or break it up into multiple tables?
it seems obvious to me to put it all in 1 table as it is unrelated data related to 1 common attribute, but when discussing this design with a seasoned oracle developer he said i should put it in multiple tables to make it look better (?!?)
are there ANY advantages of this?
