I have a question about the architecture of the database.
If you have a table and in these table are items, which are divided according to types. Is it worthy to create for these types another table even if it means that in that table would be just id and the name of the type, or is it better just to have a name in the existing table? Maybe it’s not a difference? Or do you know a tutorial where I could read about this staff? I'm interested about the best practises.

As Anuj said normalizing the tables will solve your problem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization[^]
