I would definitely go with a secondary table.

Hello all,

a design question for you:

We currently have a table which is accessed by several different
applications. However, we have been asked to add several huge varchar
columns to hold a bunch of text (a crap idea if you ask me). The varchar
fields will be completed for most but not all of the records. These
fields are only relevant to two of the applications.

Would it be better to have one main table or to have two tables, one for
the basic data and one for all the guff?

I'm thinking two tables although I wasn't sure how much of a performance
issue it would be to have the varchar fields in the same table as the
frequently accessed fields.

Carol.
