wendu Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 hey, it's wendu from sweden again! should I create two databases rather than just one where the other would contain data that is altered by users via PHP and the other will contain data that only authorised people can edit this way backiup would be simpler but is there any significan't drawback with two databases? even if I connect to them both using different php handles?

trq Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 It is highly unlikely that your application requires two distinct databases. The idea doesn't really make allot of sense.

kickstart Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hi It will make joining tables of data more difficult, and I cannot really see any advantages.

fenway Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Agreed... it's just more overhead for no reason. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/172992-two-databases-or-just-one/#findComment-915024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
