I have a M$ Sql Server db that I'm porting to postgresql. Approx. 24
tables from this old db can be combined in the new database into one
table, and it would be a bit more elegant to do this.
However, the combined table would be around 95000 rows in size.
Having never really used Postgresql in the past, and unable to find a
datapoint on the web, I would really like to get input from current users.
Is this an unreasonable table size to expect good performance when the
PHP app driving it gets a reasonable amount of traffic? I know
performance is also heavily dependent on indexes and query structure, but
disregarding either of those for the sake of argument, would I be better
off keeping the tables separate, or is 95000 not something to worry about?
btw, most tables in this database are quite small (<2000). My redesign
would create two tables in the +90000 range, but less than 100000.
Thanks very much for your input.
John
