I have a legacy application which has below tables which has 1 to 1 mapping
customer (has already 40 columns)
customer_additional_attributes(has 20 columns)
My question :- Would not it be better design if customer and customer_additional_attributes tables were combined as it would have saves extra join or query sometime to fetch data
from customer_additional_attributes ?
Is there any disadvantage of single table(like in above scenario) but large number of columns?
