Just out of curiosity:

If I have for example table products which have 50 columns, should I divide it into multiple tables like product_prices, product_measures, product_spesification and so?

If one record has only one distinct value for each column is there any reason to divide table in multiple tables?

I know the benefit when having multiple tables is that there can be multiple values for same product but if it's not necessary.

I can see no reason to split your data in multiple tables as long as you would get always a 1:1 relationship.
