Should the following take one or two tables?
Users go to a single page insert form where each user can make a single request. (among about 200 drop menu options)
There are other request attributes budget, stop and end dates for the request, and other request attributes). They may also enter comments in a textarea . The single existing able also has name, contact, etc.
Would this be considered a single entity- USER-REQUESTS? This is a 1 to 1 relationship?
Would it help to speed up the table in general if I put the comments field off on its own table (along with "edited comments" by site admin). This field will probably average 100-150 characters. Plus the "edited comments" field which will show live onsite.
