Re: Open tables with Partitioning

If you compare opening 1000 tables to opening one table with 1000 partitions the partitioned table will be faster (only create one table object, one table_share object, only open one .frm file etc, the only thing that will be the same is that both have to create and open 1000 handlers).

The only thing I can come up with, when comparing, is that it will still have to lock each partition for each statement (unless you use LOCK TABLES around a bigger block of statements). So for small/fast queries against a heavily partitioned table there will be overhead for locking all partitions, but if you compare it to a 1000 way join it is still faster ;) Again this is bug#37252...
