I will expand on Çetin's remarks: If you need
that many fields, this is usually (but not always) an indication of a bad design.
Just in case you don't know much about "normalization" (proper design of table structures), you may want to check my introductory article:

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
