I don't have much experience with big tables that contain millions of rows. So, my concern is how to manage joins between many of such tables. I think there are two possible solutions:
- At the level of the database structure: To split the tables by some
attribute for deal with smaller ones.

- At the level of SQL sentences: To divide one sentence that contain the
join in many steps, using temporary tables, etc.

What do you think about?

Cheers,
