Tables vs. databases

Hi gang,

Situation:

I've a HTTP server. I intend to run a file upload service. There could be up
to 10000 subscribers. Each saving files up to 10 MB.

I made a proof-of-concept service using PHP & MySQL, where there is a single
database, but many tables - a unique table for each subscriber. But I
realize that I may land in trouble with such a huge database. Would it be
better to have a separate database for each subscriber?

Which approach is better, many tables in 1 database, or many databases with
1 or max 2 tables?

Kindly suggest with pros and cons of each.

Thanks & Regards,
Bassinger
