MySQL stores a database as a directory, and a table in that database as a file in that directory. If you are running MySQL on Win32, and have MySQL's databases on a FAT32 partition, and if you are using table names longer than 8 characters, the filesystem would have to do that weird multiple-directory-entry thing it does to store the long filenames. It might be within the realm of possibility that this could affect performance, but I sincerely doubt it. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:
