Hello

I have a large database with 4 large tables (each containing at least 
200 000 rows, perhaps even 1 or 2 million) and i ask myself if it's 
better to split them into small tables (e.g tables of 2000 rows) to 
speed the access and the update of those tables (considering that i will 
have few update but a lot of reading).

Do you think it would be efficient ?

Nicolas, wondering if he hadn't be too greedy
