A rather stupid qn: When do we need to archive a database?

[Sastraxi]

Well there might be but there's no point wasting the extra resources opening two or more tables at the same time, and it's time consuming switching between tables. That and the database would become bigger.

Take it from me, don't.

Hi,

May I know what do you mean by database would become bigger? Do you mean spilting a table into two would increase the database memory size?

Thank you very much.
