If I have a table with hundreds of thousands of records:
- Does it matter to shorten database field names. For example from 'key_category_item_id' to 'cid'
- Should I use 'tinyint' instead of 'varchar' where I can. For example 0 for 'header' and 1 for 'footer'.
- How does partitioning a table helps and what are disadvantages of it.
- Other than disk space issues, why shouldn't I create more indexes?
- Some of table fields store data from other languages so I'm using utf8_unicode_ci for them, should I not use it for fields that store only English and use utf8_general_ci instead.
- Should I use MyISAM instead of InnoDB if I don't need features such as row level locking etc.
Appreciated...
