pleek Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Ok, i have two qsl databases. And i have two forums, one using each database. I would like to add another forum. When i have installed forums before there is a spot to change the "Database Tables Prefix". Can i have more than one forum on the same database, as long as the Database Tables Prefix's are different? Or would that mess things up, or risk loosing some of my data from the existing forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwasif Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Can i have more than one forum on the same database, as long as the Database Tables Prefix's are different? Yes, you can do that. There is no issue when you set different prefix. It is used for the very same purpose. If you can afford new database, then you should go for that just to keep the things separate.

pleek Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 but, it won't mess up the data between the two forums that are on the same database? So it is perfectly fine/acceptable to have more than one prefix on the same database? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0x00 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 yes, because each forum will be using different tables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
