Why the heck do you need 20 *thousand* columns? Assuming, though, that you know what you're doing, and the design isn't horribly botched, then arrays might be what you want. Normalizing the table might be better, and vertically partitioning it would be a big performance win if you don't need all 20 *thousand* columns at the same time. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFuNE0S9HxQb37XmcRAoxxAKCLrX0WaekNH8N8ghAzMkhgMmZ43ACg7F0K 0pqcprs/suZ/1xmK73PAdOE= =WLdL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
