When I should use one to one relationship?

Question

Sorry for that noob question but is there any real needs to use one-to-one relationship with tables in your database? You can implement all necessary fields inside one table

Answer 1

My 2 cents.

I work in a place where we all develop in a large application, and everything is a module. For example, we have a users table, and we have a module that adds facebook details for a user, another module that adds twitter details to a user. We could decide to unplug one of those modules and remove all its functionality from our application. In this case, every module adds their own table with 1:1 relationships to the global users table, like this:

create table users ( id int primary key, ...);
create table users_fbdata ( id int primary key, ..., constraint users foreighn key ...)
create table users_twdata ( id int primary key, ..., constraint users foreighn key ...)
