I want to design a database for lots of users. Each user will be managing their own messages. Does it make sense to create a table for each user after they've registered? Or should I just create one MESSAGES table and store messages there keyed off of their user_id?

If I create a table for each user (I can potentially have hundreds of thousands of users), will MySQL be able to handle this? If I just have one table, I could potentially have millions of records in one table. Will MySQL be able to handle this?

My gut feel is that MySQL will be fine with one table and millions of records.

Thanks.
