Using symlinks for database creation in mysql

[Manasi Save]

Hi All,

I am creating symlinks as database. 
I have mysql data directory created on /var/lib/mysql/databasename. 

on the same path I am creating /var/lib/mydatabase
and creating symlink from /var/lib/mydatabase to  /var/lib/mysql/databasename

will there any performance issues as there will be quite a few folders and symlinks on the
same path?

Thanks in advance.
