title: MySQL Table Size Limit and Performance
body: <p>In a MySQL database, I have one table that has 330 columns, each column is either a float or integer value.  The entries are indexed by a millisecond time stamp column.  Over the life of the application there is expected to be on the order of 100 - 200 million entries.  This table is completely independent and has no relations to other tables.  The only queries are ones filtering by the time stamp index.</p>
  
  <p>Assuming I have a modern intel server with 6 cores and 32GB of ram and enough disk storage for the data, will any size limits be hit or will performance significantly degrade?</p>
  
  <p>If there will be problems, what should be done to mitigate the problems.</p>
  
  <p>I know similar questions have been asked, but the answer always seems to be it depends.  Hopefully I've provided enough information so that a definitive answer can be determined.</p>
