Yes.

Generally, wanting more than a few dozen columns is a good sign that you
need to rethink your schema design.  What are you trying to accomplish
exactly?
	

indeed. I'd say a good read on 'data normalization' and the Third Normal Form would be in order.

relational databases are *not* spreadsheets (and, for that matter, spreadsheets make lousy relational databases)

if these 1600+ elements come from an ORM, you probably need to rethink your object model, as no sane object class should have that many members.
