As I recall, mysql can only have 64 tables open at a time. It might have a different limit on different OS's but for Linux that's the issue.

Is it the per process file descriptor thing? (After all, that's not so much of a UNIX thing as a Linux thing. FreeBSD doesn't have per process limits. It has system limits, but they're tunable.) Or is it something else? I would think that throwing multiple domains and users into one table is poor database design. Not only is it more difficult to back up and administer, but I would think it would be slower! After all, if you have 10,000 users in one domain, and only 500 in another, it'd be inefficient to search for those 500 users among 10,000. Matthias
