Re: 1600 Column limit..

The reason we have that is we have 23 slots in a shelf (of equipment)
and we have 23 ports in a slot. We are tracking 3 different items per
port.. so we have 23 x 23 which is 529 x 3 which is 1587 individual
items to track of which they are all a single digit. You add into that
some misc. stuff like shelf name and poll_time and it becomes a mess..
I just split them into 3 seperate tables.

If you are trying to have 1600 columns in a table, you probably have
made a design mistake in your table design. You should take a look at
some database design books to see if you can change the structure.
