The effect is on the performance. If the queries are not properly designed, it can stagate the pages where the data is retrieved from database. But we can always go for indexes, hints (in Oracle), or limit(MySql) to improve the performance.

Following can be effect of large number of data stored in a database on a website.

1. Site Can become really slow in case queries used are not proper and code logic for processing large data is not proper.

2. Database can become slow if proper table indexing is not done for large data.

3. Proper Database Engine should be used for Mysql for large data so that we can get results faster.

4. Mysql should be configured properly to respond to query on large data stored.
