Max NB of MyISAM tables / DB ( Ext3 & linux )

[David Bordas]

Hi list,

I've just a little question for the end.
I planned to have around 10K tables under a DB and this number surelly grow
up to 20K.
I know that a database is a directory and a table is 3 files.
I just want to know is mysql have a limit in the number of table per
database.

If not, i know that ext3 can have ten of thousands files in a directory.
But commande like 'ls' will become slower and slower ...
Is this also slowing mysql ?

Thanks
