db Structure

I'm considering using FlexiContent for the first time, but I was wondering if someone could explain how component structures its data tables.

For instance, assume I have 3 totally non-related groups of information. Does FC compile all the data into one table(relatively speaking} or can each group get its own table structure?

Thanks.

All tables are shared, it does not create new table for every item type.

We have one table per entity, 1 table for
-- For items FLEXIcontent extended data
-- For item types
-- For versioned data
-- For field values
-- For templates
etc
if you look at the db in phpmyadmin or other tool, of course always avoid manipulating a db schema that you know little about. Anyway with FLEXIcontent you will mostly like never need to manipulate the db directly regards

Thanks for the reply. So to be sure I am clear, and perhaps, I should have asked this in my original post, with Flexi, a site manager can or cannot normalize the database consistent with what is generally considered good data structuring?

Based on your earlier response, it sounds as if the answer is "cannot".

Up to what level would you want to normalize ? 1NF, 2NF, and 3NF 4NF? or more?

I don't understand, you wish to join project, and rewrite the core ?

are you are planing on using FLEXIcontent on site with Nx100.000 of content items?

Pretty easy. Donwload FlexiContent, install it, look at the database, look at the code, decide. I honestly cannot understand why you come to this conclusion based on ggppdk's reply. Every component has own data base tables!
