Re: doubt about merge table (10000+) with same structure
Best thing to do it to try it but I suspect your hunch is correct.
Really, it would be a good idea to merge all your data into a single table. Perhaps use partitioning https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/partitioning.html which the optimizer should be able to take advantage of.

Subject: [Maria-discuss] doubt about merge table (10000+) with same structure
Hi again guys :)
i'm with a new problem
i have MANY (10000+) tables with same struct, and i want to execute a select from "some" (100+) tables
i was thinking about creating a view with all tables, something like:
CREATE VIEW view_name AS
SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE primary_key=<a value only at table1>
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE primary_key=<a value only at table2>
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM table3 WHERE primary_key=<a value only at table3>
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM table4 WHERE primary_key=<a value only at table4>
UNION ALL
...
SELECT * FROM tablen WHERE primary_key=<a value only at tablen>
but i don't know if mysql optimizer will do a good job when i execute something like:
SELECT * FROM view_name WHERE primary_key=<a value only located at table1>
and just execute the query at table1 instead of alllllllll 10000+ tables
i'm considering restruture database to a spider engine or any other method if i don't have other option
any idea is well come
