In additions to Dan's response, I like to point out that from a logical
point of view, the above design is flawd. It's a lot easier to deal with a
single table. If there are enourmous volumes, it can still be motivated
with partitioning, but then we are talking enourmous values like tens
of millions of rows per month.
