Setting up a Table. One table for all columns, or each column a table? Does it make a difference

There seems to be a different response when setting up a table. E.g. Data in four columns- should this be one table, OR, should each column be its own table? Does it make a difference when using form...

    Do the data in one row "belong" together, for example first name, last name, date of birth and place of birth of a person? If so, you should create one table - you want the data to stay together in the same row.

     

    Or are the data not related to each other, and could one column have more or fewer rows than another column? In that case, it's better to create separate tables, so that each can be manipulated independently from the others.
