MySQL + Wordpress?

Recommended Posts

This may be a stupid/inane question, but I am hoping to run a website using wordpress--I think it would make sense because it would make it more accessible to my bosses, who know very little about computers--but there's a lot of data so I was thinking it might make sense to create a MySQL database to run alongside the Wordpress site, since there are some variables I want to make sure run constant and combine certain posts with other posts (i.e. titles by the same author, etc). Does this thought-process make sense and is there a way to do this? or do I have to choose one or the other?

Can you not set up individual wordpress accounts on your site per author? There are many options I believe on sorting posts, such as allowing the posts of one author to be on their own section, or all together. If you're wanting an alternate database for other things, you can just do so with your host and call it separately..
