You could query 60,000 rows on a low tier smart phone. Makes no sense at all.
Can we think of any device someone might have that would struggle with 60k? Certainly an ESP32 chip could handle it fine, so most IoT devices would work...
Unless the database was designed by someone who only knows of data as that robot from Star Trek, most would be absolutely fine with 60k rows. I wouldn't be surprised if the machine they're using caches that much in RAM alone.
Right? There's no part of that xeet that makes any real sense coming from a "data engineer."
Terrifying, really.
