Yet one more stupid question

Good time of the day!

One more question related to performance. I have a VERY BIG table
(abot 20 million records) which is accessed relatively seldom, like
once a day (basically, it's archived data which sometimes may be
needed). How this table affect performance of the database? Is it
worse to create another database for storing this data, and keep the
main DB small?
