Hi Kabel
Yes, I did, it won't do the job for us. I didn't explain the whole
usecase: we are dealing with a 50-billion row table which we want
to split into 1-million-row tables, and then dynamically break each
of these into smaller pieces in order to speed up n^2 near-neighbor
joins. If we partition the 1 million row table from the very beginning,
we will end up with unmanageable number of tables/files.
thanks,
Jacek
Have you looked into MySQL partitioning? If you're using version 5.1,
it might really help.. just partition the big table on chunk ID.
