I need to use some large tables using MySQL under Linux and would welcome
suggestions from anyone with any experience. Currently one months data
creates a table of 3M records about 750Mb in size. I should like to
consolidate 12 Months data (which is expected to grow to say 50M records per
month) so I could be looking at 15Gb table plus indexes. This is for
'warehousing' so transactional security and frequent updates are of little
concern.

The options I can see include:
Merge Tables/INNODB or MyIsam using large file capable file-system (XFS?)

Please offer ideas and experience. I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks

Nigel
