No doubt about that. It's

I'm just curious to know what makes him think it is too big. Sounds like something someone with very little knowledge, would tell him. Someone like, a web host call center puke, for example. Someone trying to blame their own performance issues on the customer.
Newsflash for the OP - the entire DB isn't ever called. Just the parts of it the scripts need, at the time they need it.
