This is a theoretical design question as to how to address an issue where a  
certain table with ~20 fields will grow rapidly (20,000 records per day) and  
we need to keep all records in the active DB for seven years.  We're talking  
about > 50 million records. 
 
I see two approaches to this: 
 
1.) Single table using raid 
 
2.) One table per day (365x7 =  2555 tables) and build an object to  
interface as if it were a single table. 
 
Which (if any) approach would you think is better where better = fast  
response time and overall maintenance.
