Database Tips: Use The Singularity Principle

Use each field of a database for one purpose and only one purpose. Do not use one field for several different things.

Sometimes, a field has been used some of the time for one purpose and is then shanghaied into another duty. Avoid this. Create a separate field for each role. Then there is no confusion about what a specific field is used for.
