I'm creating a database on mysql for a small app. Problem is there are too many fields that are identical on different Tables like
Table 1: Muncipal Issues: ID, UserID, Title, Location, Description, ImageURL,
Table 2: Harrasement Issues: ID , UserID, Title, Location, Description, ImageURL
Tables 3 same as above
both tables have almost same coulmns. i want to ask if it's better to use a relations and create a table for handling IDs and link it with other details or it's better to create a single table with an extra coulmn for these issues.
on one hand there'll be too many tables with identical columns. on the other hand there'll few tables with too many rows in it.
What will be best for performance more rows or more tables.
i'm using Mysql.
