flat_catalog_product_1
flat_catalog_product_2
flat_catalog_product_3
Why not just 1 single table?

Each table corresponds to a Store View in Magento.
Because you can define an attribute like the product name or description to be at a store view level, the “flat” version of this information needs to be in a different table for each store view.
