Memory usage of tables and Variables

[Sanjeev 46]

Hi Fellas,

 

If I use a table with say 10 columns to store my data vs a table with 5 columns and 5 variables - is the memory usage more or less the same in both cases?

I would think a table with 10 columns might take up  less Ram than using another 5  variables.

What would you advise?

 

Thanks.

table is a multidimensional array
list a normal array
so it is absolut doesnt matter if u store your content in a var  or in a array.

makes no difference but like i know from many other c,c++,php etc...

 array is mosttime faster then normal var
