There are pro and cons on both.
If you dealing with update insert to single row from both tables and can carry out same on single combined table in single row - it will help to combine.
If you are dealing with multiple rows update and it span through different number of rows in individual tables and may lead to reading more data in joined table. - this will not help.

Folks
Does the number of columns in a table affect the performance of SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE in OLTP Transactions.
If so, why?
NOTE - Merge of 2 existing tables each has 200 columns approx into a single Table is being planned..
Thanks in Advance
Vivek
