A well-designed database has lots and lots of tables instead of lots and lots of columns. I am not aware of a specific boundary, but too much tables queries simultaneously will cause performance problems. You may need to increase the size of the table_cache. Check the MySQL manual for more info.

Let's hope so! "lots and lots of tables/columns" is rarely a good idea...
Good database normalization should keep things in check.

Yes, you're right! Thankfully, I found another way, which is also simplier than the previous used!
