FVxSF Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I'm working on an image gallery when people can upload their images, get ratings and comments and so on. Kind'a like Image Shack but not so much as an image host. My host has given their customers unlimited storage and bandwidth so I'm not worried about that. I know I have at least 600GB of space when I first signed up. Any way, what I'm worried about is a huge database. I'll be using MySQL but if my users have submitted a few hundred thousand images where the image names, descriptions, dates, comments and ratings are saved in the DB can MySQL handle that amount of data? I have never tried this, but can you use php to connect to a few databases at one? Lets say I have 3 DBs: PixDBA, PixDBB, PixDBC. Is it possible to use php and link these databases together and perform a SELECT query? Is it even wise to do that if possible?
