154	can't back up databases with lots of tables	geofft		"Per a [comment:ticket:148:3 a comment on ticket #148], apparently having a large number of tables causes mysqldump to error out because it has too many open file handles. I disbelieve mysqldump has any good reason for the number of simultaneous open file handles to be linear in the number of tables, but even if so, we can doubtless bump the rlimit on the servers a good bit.

We should investigate what's going on here and make it possible to back up databases with lots of tables, preferably unlimited (or limited by some other constraint such as quota or a MySQL internal limit or directory size)."	defect	new	major		sql		starter, c
