Subject:    Max number of merged tables?

Hello all,

I am currently creating a table per hour for some data I have.  Each table has
502 fields (yeah, I know....nothing I can do about it, this is a very
special situation) and about 100,000 records.

A few hours worth of data creates a 2GB table, and I don't really want
to increase the size of the tables and risk something happening to *all*
the data if something becomes corrupt.  

I'm using the MERGE feature and all has worked well so far.  I am using MySQL
version 3.23.52.

My question is, what is the maximium number of tables I can merge
together?  Like I said, I create one every hour.  24 a day, 168 a week
and 672 a month.  I would like to keep as much data available in the
merged table.

I'm using a merge table so that I can query one table rather than generating
a transaction of queries.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kevin
