When will MySQL starts slowing down

70 tables will increase to 120

[henry0]

I am starting to wonder when MySQL might start slowing down
out of the existing 70 tables about 45 are related to
my E-Comm area.
The rest is not heavily loded but mostly "text" for template purpose and client's data
I have a need to add about 50 more tables in the same template and client's data category

I consider each table lightly loaded with input
however to generate a page requires going up and down in the DB
so far I do not complain it is very very fast
should I worry about my next additions?

thanks

Henry

I think you will find that factors will be determined by operating system constraints rather than MySQL internal limits.
