Merge Table: Too many open files

Hello,

my problem:

I merged about 1.000 Tables with

Create table name (variables) type=merge
union=(table1,table2,...,table1000);

MySQL now creates a tables, but I can't open it. Everytime I get the
message: Error 24. Which means: 'Too many open files'.

I tried to tune the server by setting the variable for
open_files_limit to 10.000. But still the same problem.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks,

Nils

Well, I don't think your problem is related to file handles...
Merging 1000 tables is usually a sign of a design problem. Can you
explain why you need to merge that many tables???

Because I have so many points. (Simple description *g*)

I have to deal with geographical points (x,y,z). They are stored in a
point table. For each point table I made a table with metainformation.
For an overwiev I want to join these metainformation.

Sure, I can put all metainformation in one table. But I want to have
each measurement in a separat table.

It has worked with about 1 Billion points from about 400 measurements.

Now I have less points but more measurements. About 1000. And I tried
the same architecture.

Well, have a look at :
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/MERGE.html

Especially read the section on MERGE table disadvantages, it talks
about file handles...

I'd say try to change your design...
