General Question Regarding Databases

Recommended Posts

I am just starting to learn php and mysql. I am wondering how many databases one needs on their website. It's one website. I plan to have a lot of information on it. Users will have accounts. Now, I don't understand a lot about databases, but do I even need more than one? Does it speed up anything to have them separated (Is it hard on a search or something when it has more records in a database). And, if I should have more than one database, how should I separate them? Should I have one with user account profile information, and one with records of website analytics? I wouldn't know how to separate them the correct ways. If you need more details to answer this question (I figured it was general enough) Just let me know. Thanks for any help you can offer.
