50 columns? Is this mySQL? I thought that mysql had a limit of 32 columns per table?
Anyways, most of my tables are only a couple thousand rows long but I want to practice proper or GOOD coding techniques.
In this particular case though, my table has about 350,000 - 500,000 rows, it kinda depends because the data that gets inserted fluctuates, but 500K is about the max that I have seen with 350K as the min.
The number of columns isn't all that much, about 15 columns...
And I TRY to use the best column types although I will admit sometimes I get lazy and don't use the proper types...
For example I have a lot of "varchar" when they should be just "char" etc.... |
