I want to create a US geography database. So far I have categories such as state nick names (some states have more than one), state mottos (text 25 to 150 characters), state name origins (100-300 characters), state "trivial facts", entry into union. My question is; would it be better to keep at least some of this information in separate tables like:
state_basic ID | name | Incorporation | Entry in Union| Name_origin | Motto state_nicknames ID | name | nick_name| state_trivia ID | name | fact or would it be batter for queries to try to put all this information in one table? Thanks, Richard
