i used to make projects with several tables all in one database. regularly i would have problems with validation of databases for various reasons. it was solvable but my intervention was always necessary.

recently i made a project using free tables instead of putting all into the database.

i found no change in speed or the way i programed or in the way i used my SQL commnands.

so my question is what is my advantage of using the database in the first place (other than being able to use more than 10 characters as a table name).

i found using free tables a lot easier with more peace of mind.
