Hi 2 all,
Here is my typical configuration: 1(2) GB of RAM, HP ML 350(150) series
server, SATA raid, Linux.
I have 1 big table (called "archive") which contains short text messages
with a plenty of additional service info.
Currently this table contains more than 4M rows for a period of 4,5
months, i.e. each row has average size of 1K.
I'm going to make our application work with partitions of this table
instead of one large table. The primary reason is that eventually we'd
need to remove old rows and it would be pretty hard with one table
because of blocking (and rows are being added constantly).
DELETEs shouldn't block concurrent INSERTs.
That said, dropping a partition is a lot more convenient than DELETEing
from a big table.
