IMHO, you should use similar database design principles as you would on other platforms. Overloading a single database with storage of multiple structures of different types of data (although I've seen it done) may eventually get you into trouble for either performance or code complexity reasons. Use one structure/one database, unless theres a good application-oriented reason not to.
