Re: How many rows does a table can hold?

2001-03-15 Thread Rino Nucara

I think a good soluthion it is to do a table for every thing and use MERGE 
table for searching data in all the table (for MERGE see documentation at 
pag. 271 "MySql table Type" chapter).

 I want to ask you :
 1- How many rows does a mysql table can hold?
 2- I have to design a database for all universities of my country , Is it
 better to consider one database for each university or one database for
all
 universities . Note that a query on a table  "student" would be more quick
 if I use for every university its own student table .

The Internet Football Club is a footy game by Rage which uses mysql as the
backend database. We run this on a Windows NT box and have found mysql good
for 3 million plus rows. However we still split the tables into a day-by-day
transaction basis so we won't exceed 3 million. This is a similar approach
to the idea of splitting the table into separate Universities.

We use php and apache with mysql.

Millions. Probably billions. I've heard of someone putting 2 billion
rows in a table before (if memory serves).

 2- I have to design a database for all universities of my country ,
 Is it better to consider one database for each university or one
 database for all universities .  Note that a query on a table
 "student" would be more quick if I use for every university its own
 student table .

If the data structures are identical, there should be little need to
split them out into their own tables. Speed shouldn't be an issue if
it is indexed properly.
