Database coding

[Lucile]

Hello, I have one question about database coding? I'm not sure I understand the interest of coding the variables in numbers (0 or 1 for example) but also by putting the label. Why not put only the coding number OR put the different modalities (for example masculine or feminine for gender) Thank you
