Re:Is 20M of rows still a valid soft limit of MySQL table in... by koolba on Monday May 22, 2023 @10:23PM (#36039058)
An indexed read should be no different than on a table with on the order of 100K rows. And that’s even with good ol’ spinning rust.

It’s all about logical I/O operations which, for an indexed read, would only be a handful regardless of size as it’s operating on a btree: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-tree

Now creating that index from scratch might take a while though…
