Too many entries in the database

Hi,
My english is really poor i think so be lenient.

I have a little probeme with my database. i already have a database that have one table with too match entries in the day, like 10000 entries. the entries are done by range. like when a user get article, every article have one identifier. the identifier are successive, so to save all the article, the user must just select the range (from 1920 to 2550) and all the article are save. in futur use we can select like article 2015 or 2016 to 2020. 
the articles are not save by range like one row but each article is one row in the database. It end with too many entries in one day.

My question is, there is another way to do so? a best practice to manage so many entries? i would like to simply save a one rows like a range of articles but the problem is how can use the article afta because i will not just gat all the range but some part of the range only, i can destroy an article or give it to another user so and so one.


I hope i explain my situation correctly. if not i will add more informations. My english is really poor i think so ....

Thks a lot.
