Finnbogi and Marc are much more on point than Richard.

Richard's only point on access controls may be applied to separate tables is not a real-world scenario and your time would be much better spent on actual security controls rather than his contrived hypothetical. Some resources on doing this securely:

And review your database's security documentation (e.g. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/security.html)

  • Thanks those links were really helpful but correct me if am wrong it doesn't actually matter if I save them in a separate table or the same table as I follow those security rules right ?! – Mohammad Istanboli May 31 '16 at 09:28
