All,

An automatic test system that I designed generates 25 data elements for each 
unit tested. We test about 50 units/day. This data is currently being stored in 
a csv file. I'd like to move this over to an SQLite database.

The question I have is, should I lump everything together in one table just 
like the .csv file or should I create several smaller tables that group similar 
parameters? I'm not sure what would normally be done. I think the database is 
normalized properly in either case.

Existing records will never be modified once they are inserted. We will 
occasionally read the database to gather statistical information.

I'd like to get your input before I commit to anything that I might regret 
later.

Thanks,
-Bill
