database design approach

[dat...@tuta.io]

I am designing a database for a django project. I already read this tutorial that I found really useful: https://learndjango.com/tutorials/database-design-tutorial-beginners

I have a question regarding the normalization. The normalization is important due that we need to reduce redundant data. But we need to find a balance because increasing the complexity is decreasing the performance.

I have a model (Player) that refers to the User Model.  I need to add several fields in the Player model. Is it better to put every field in the Player model or I can use three levels of complexity?

Approach 1: User Model > Player Model (with many fields)

Approach 2: User Model > Player Model > Several Different Models for each different features.

Hi ,

If you are using single model you use single model with multiple fields .If you are using multiple models  you can use Foreign field to refer other  model in current model.(Player model)
