It all depends on how complicated your data and searches are. I've got tables that add 2-3 million per day and I don't have
performance problems. Although we only retain at most 500 millions records, not a full years worth.
That said, you can get horrible performance out of mysql with tables as small as 100,000 records if you don't structure your queries
correctly or use a good table structure. If I know the tables are going to grow quickly and I don't need the entire dataset all the
time, I'll use merge tables. This makes it easy to remove "old" data easily from the default table set.

Subject: Problem on millions of records in one table?
Hi,all
The number of the records in one table increase constantly. As
evaluated, the amount would increase to at least 30 millions within one
year. So we worry about whether mysql could handle such a big amount of
records with good performance. Or need we some other solutions to avoid
this problem ,such as using Partition, dividing a big table and etc. Any
help or idea would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
mingxin
