Hello!
I really hope that You will carefully consider this situation:
Being a customer of a hosting service - it's addres is
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.valuehost.ru">http://www.valuehost.ru</a><!-- m -->
-for only 4 monthes and also being a newcomer in the internet,
I decided to create a MySQL-database-supported site about the city I live in(St.Petersburg,Russia) --
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.spb-explorer.ru">http://www.spb-explorer.ru</a><!-- m -->
At the beginning I realized that there are going to be many informative points about each object-
whether it is a street,house,an enterprise or an item-
so there was a question about how to place this information - in a form of a table for each property
for each object or just as ,say,a string in a main table for each object.
I have asked my hosting-support-service many times, but got no reply.
I also have asked some acquintances of mine,whom I considered to be specialists-
they said that I may have as many tables in my database as the memory I paid for allows.
And also I have read some books about MySQL.
So I accepted the 'table-consuming' way for the reason of speed.
That means , that every object,there are hundreds and going to be thousands,has some 5 - 10 tables
for every property it has got - a link's list, a subobject's list ,etc.
But today I got a letter from my hosting administrator saying (in a rude way - but it
is another matter) that I am kind of disturbing the whole server's work
because of the amount of tables in my database.And he also threatened to switch off
my site.But it's not him that bothers me - I can remove my domain.
It is the question of
HOW MANY TABLES I CAN HAVE IN MY DATABASE
If I am right ( meaning this number is endless) - so I would nail this son of a gun..
In case I am not - it means that I will have to change the whole architecture of
my database.So I would do - but the question remains: Why did I not find anything
about it in the precious books. Or am I wrong? A there any official links that could
say anything about it?
Please answer a.s.a.p. - it is urgent to me.
Sincerely Yours
Lisitsin
