jaymc Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I have a database which contains my members table and a few other things. The members table is heavily accessed..I am going to make 2 more tables which will be heavily usedMy question is, will it slow things down if I put the 2 new tables in the same database as the members databaseWould it be better making a new database for the 2 new tables?Or doesnt it matter?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I would strongly suggest you to keep it in the same database, or you will have to run mysql_select_db() a lot of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I've only encountered 2 or 3 real-world applications that actually required a second database, so the answer in your case is probably no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
