Hi guys
I have just learned to work with access and the basic to make a database, but I dont know much about design choices when making a database.
My first project is to make a database about modifications for certain games for my own use. Mods is made by players to change, add or delete game elements to improve the original game, like making cities grow faster in a strategy game, or increasing damage of a certain weapon in a first person shooter. So mods can be about almost every elements in a game.
What I'm struggling with is to decide if I should make certain elements into a table with many fields or just a field with many variables. So I wonder if its some general guide or something to help me decide and organize things into tables and fields, or if anyone have any tips or suggestions to help me on the way, and what the benefits are for choosing one over the other?
Any help is appreciated
