Hello, My apologies for repeating a question asked earlier[1] but the question and the answer were a little vague:
Does the number of tables in a database affect MySQL's performance? Specifically, if I have a database with 1,000 tables in it, will it be slower than usual due to the number of tables? What about a database with 10,000 or 100,000 tables? As one section of the MySQL manual points out[2]: "If you have many MyISAM or ISAM tables in a database directory, open, close, and create operations are slow". But what about INNODB? And are there table engine-independent implementation details which might cause performance problems for a database with many tables?
