[Answered ]-Variable table name in Django

In the vast majority of cases, this shouldn’t buy you any performance advantage. Any RDBMS worth its salt should handle immense tables effortlessly.

If it’s needed, there could be some sharding of the table. Again, managed by the DB server; at SQL level (and ORM) it should be seen as a single table. Ideally, the discrimination should be automatically handled; if not, most RDBMS let you specify it at table definition time (or sometimes tune with ALTER TABLE)

If you choose to define the sharding method, each RDBMS has it’s own non-standard methods. Best not to tie your Python code to that; do the tuning once on the DB server instead.
