Re: to merge or not to merge
We have a monitoring system that uses a MyISAM table to store its results. After 7 months the table got 400Mb long (30M lines) and it was not pretty when I had to repair it after a crash.
What I did after is to create a per month table. Moved the data from the original table to the new ones and then myisampack.
Now I have tables of around 30Mb. Historic tables are read-only which makes it faster (no locking) for querying and for recovering (can't get corrupted).
The rw table is for the current month only, so it is not bigger than 4M lines.
