I think table size does affect lookup speed. Our mysql DBA seemed to think so...

Its easy to check. Just create a new table with 100 records, do a lookup on that, and then do a lookup on your 500,000 record table and compare the time each query took.

Hi all,

I have a mysql table containing 574948 rows. In this table we store the data about the visitors of our sites. I have a servlet that presents this data in a nice way. I have noticed that it is working slower and slower. I want to move all the old data (3 months old) in an another table. I want to ask if this would speed up the queries or no. Can anybody say how the data is stored by mysql? Should i move this old table in another database too?? Thank you, Andras.
