Open Source apps with lots of database tables?
jerf: "big enterprise applications with 150 database tables"Did you drop a zero or two? I hit 250-ish once on a relatively minor project by enterprise standards. (Built a small business on this table, so it wasn't a dinky thing either.) If you're normalizing anything like correctly, the table count grows fast. (Not to mention things like what I call "enumeration tables" that exist solely to provide foreign key checking on another table and make it so you don't have the same string showing up a bajillion times, instead just having a tinyint or smaller.)
