    Re: Creating tables

    Multiple copies of a table is not efficient. It makes coding and maintenance much harder, and is likely to increase the storage space needed.

    For similar reasons (but to a lesser degree) multiple columns is not good either - what you should be aiming for is multiple rows (in this case one row per user account).
