If you mean optimise performance look into partitioning - both horizontal and vertical.
Groups of tables can be moved onto seperate disk drives to increase disk through-put (vertical partitioning).
You can also partition individual tables - useful for archiving older data i.e. partitions can be based on date. So only a portion of a table may only need searched in many cases.
