Hi! I'm a web designer - new to databases.
I'm setting up a database for a DJ company, and wanted a second opinion. Is it better to create one table called "Events" (which would necessarily hold a space for only occasionally required fields like BridesName and GroomsName), or to break the table down into a table for Weddings, Parties, Mitzvahs, etc. and either risk some form of redundancy. I'm leaning toward the first option, but wasn't certain, and wanted a second opinion.
Thank you!!!
PS - Using Access 2007 (but I don't know that it's relevant to this question) Thank you.
