Continuing on from this question here: Forum data in mysql database
What would be the maximum number of entries I could have in a table without slowinging it significantly down? Because wouldn’t querying over 1000-10000 entries just be to much work? Is there a way around this? Or is it fine to put ininte numbers of entries in?
This depends on the data in question, but 10,000 rows in a table is a trivial amount. The key to efficient querying is indexing appropriately.
