> so many tables

?

There are various complaints about OSM data model but this is a new one to me. In OSM basically everything is mixed together and there is no real separation into layers.

What you mean by "many tables"?

He probably means what the osm2pgsql import tool creates.

OK, then it is about default osm2pgsql data model that in part is independent from OSM data model.

"many tables" is definitely osm2pgsql design decision
