Using: LAMP (PHP5, MYSQL 5+/MyISAM)
I am consuming a lot of data from a number of different feeds. There could be hundreds or thousands+ of records on any given day.
The data will be searchable and frequently will be.
Is it safe/optimal to house the data in one table with related data for categories in a different table?
Someone, who I respect, has the opinion to create tables for each category of the data and house the data in respective tables.
