title: What is a better data model to use to store user profiles?
body: <p>I am working on the data model for a relational database where I have to store User Information as well as User's profile such as Education Level, personal interests, hobbies, and etc. Similar to what most of the social networking sites have or any other systems that allow you to build a profile.</p>
  
  <p>I cannot decide if it would be better to store all this information in one Users table, or break it into 2 tables.</p>
  
  <p>If I would break it into two tables I would have Users table that would just store UserID, Name, e-mail, DOB, gender.</p>
  
  <p>UserProfiles would store the rest of the stuff pertaining to a profile, sharing the same UserID with Users table</p>
