I am curious, what is your reasoning for being a fan of single-table databases?
The number of columns a table may have depends on the table type you are using, this should be in the documentation. Your decision to put 20 judges... 3 rounds... 17 categories into a single table probably is (well almost definitly is) a bad choice. You might want to consider breaking that into a table for judges (contains name, court, address, blah blah), a table for round information, and a table for categories... putting it all into one table makes very little sense. ryan ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2001 8:59 PM Subject: column maximum? > I'm creating a table, and because i'm a fan of single-table databases, its turning out to have many colums.
