Hi All,
I have 5000+ individual clients, each clients may have 100+ records.
Each client can modify to their own records.
In the order of maintenance, robustness, scalability then performance,
which of the following do you think is best.
i) 1 big table with 500000+ records
ii) 5000+ small tables with 100+ records (1 table for each client)?
At first I thought (i) but then for robustness a colleague pointed out
that on (ii) if clients screw up their own table it will not affect anyone
else!
any comments/suggestions are very much appreciated

1 table with clients
1 table with records
