Hi, I have a question on a project i am currently on. I am adapting Phorum (www.phorum.org) to my own portal and have a doubt about MySQL. Phorum creates a table for each discussion forum. However, in the portal i work for, i currently have thousands of items that would potentially need a table (with a very little amount of records, rarely more than 10). I am talking of a maximun of 10000 tables.
Is there any reason to avoid having a large number of tables (which have the same structure)? Are there any considerations that I should have? Would doing just-one-big-table (with a forum-id) be advisable?
