How can I divide one large table into several other tables ?
Thanks.

I would start by reading 'The Fundamentals of Relational Database Design' to make sure you understand how relational databases work. Then I would make sure that the table really needs to be split up. If it does, I would write down all the existing fields and determine which table they should go into and how the key fields relate to each other. Then I would write some insert statements to take the existing information and insert it all into the new tables.
