Extremely large tables
Posted by: Malcolm Wardlaw

I have a question regarding the handling of very large tables with hundreds of columns.

I have a group of SAS tables that I want to load into a mysql database. The SAS tables follow groups of uniquely identified individuals through time. The tables are unique to the ID and the date, and each one contains between 1500 and 3000 variables, all of which are more or less unique to ID and time. The largest of the SAS files weigh in at over 15GB.

I'm trying to efficiently load everything into a group of Windows based MySQL databases and I need some advice on how to do it. I'm guessing that retaining the file structure of the 15GB SAS files is sub-optimal. Is there a best practice for this sort of thing? What do I need to know or keep in mind when managing this?
