Sharding for spitting generations? #247

Open thechief389 opened 5 years ago

I found this thing called Horizontal Sharding in SQLLAlchemy's documentation and I was curious if this could be used to split the database into multiple databases containing data for each generation.

For example:

gen1.db
gen2.db
gen3.db

And so on.

@eevee mentioned doing this here.
