What is the reason of having Multiple table in databases,why not a huge single table?

Answer 1

In relational databases this would take up too much resources to store not only data but also relations between them. It would also hamper data retrieval efficiency, especially in a multiuser environment.
In non-relational dbs, this kind of happens, but it is being managed differently.

Answer 2

Thank you everyone:-)

Answer 3

@Kuba just reminded me:
SugarCRM (free) uses MySQL. MySQL supports relational tables, but SugarCRM uses tables as if they had multiple row types.
This means they have all these extra columns depending on immediate row type, plus several "linking tables" that just record relationships. The tables can reference themselves, and when debugging you have to stop and check what kind of record you have. It works, but it feels weirder than necessary.

Answer 4

Answer 8

Resource tradeoffs (time, space, cycles, etc). MongoDB just throws everything together, and its name is no accident:
"HuMONGOus" + "DataBase"

Answer 9

Data redundancy
