How can I organize a glut of mysql tables? [closed]

Answer 1

There is no way to organize tables hierarchically that is meaningful to MySQL.

As others have noted, you can maintain separate schemas (in MySQL, databases), or you can develop and use a table naming structure that organizes your tables in a way that is meaningful to users (but is still not meaningful to MySQL).

Answer 2

The only thing that occurs to me is to use different databases for different sets of tables. See CREATE DATABASE

Answer 3

I don't believe there is a way to organize tables other than to move them into other dbs. What you could do is prefix the ones you use frequently so they are always at the top (this only works though if you have defined constants for your table names for just such an occasion so you don't have to trudge through your source code changing every instance it is called).
