Can use of many flutter hive box lead to low performace?

Question

I am trying to make a money management app in flutter using hive. So I need to save data of each day in a box. If I use one hive box for one day there will be many hive boxes day after day. I need to know is there any simple way of doing this or creating many boxes in hive may lead to low performance. Thank you!

This is not answer to current situation, but. You can use SQL (like sqflite) or NoSQL (like hive) solutions. If you need implement a search in your app and one entity can relate to other entity, I can recommend to use SQL solution (because it simple when we are talking about search, queries, pagination and entity relations).

For dates you can create a field in your entity that store a date when this entity was created (payment for example). Your entity can look like:

class Payment {
  final double value;
  final DateTime date;
}

Then, you can fetch entities for needed day from a query and show it to user.
