Re: Extremely large tables

15GB won't be the problem. 15TB is getting huge.

The limits on columns is something like
* Columns per table (MyISAM): 4K.
* Columns per table (InnoDB): 1000.

However... The schema definition file is limited to 64KB. So, keep the column names short, and avoid ENUMS with a lot of options.

I suggest you consider vertically partitioning the data so that you don't have that many columns per table.

What kind of queries will you be doing with the data? Then, even 15GB could be cumbersome. Then, "clustering" of the data becomes important.
