    Silly database question...

    When does it get to a point where you would need to use separate
    (identical column) tables.

    For instance, google/ragingbull/yahoo message boards are probably all
    fed from either a very large table (called message boards???) with
    indexes for each board or they are fed from separate but identical
    tables (column wise).

    Which is the proper method? To have one HUGE table with many indexes,
    or many separate tables. Just curious, thanks for any responses. -Nick
