Re: DB Design

The complete answer is probably "it depends", but this does not help 
much...:-)

I would try out the simple approach first (i.e one 50 million row 
table), but read up about :

i) partial indexes and maybe
ii) clustering
iii) think about presorting the data before loading to place "likely to 
be accessed" rows "close" together in the table (if possible).
iv) get to know the analyze, explain, explain analyze commands....

Best wishes
