Making Seperate Databases

[!!!!!]

I need help with making seperate databases...

I have a fansite/helpsite for a multi-player game called Runescape. This game has items, monsters, and people. I would like to make a seperate database (and a search bar so people can search for an item/monster/person) for each of these. Things... How can I do this?

Also, how do I make a search bar for the database? Incase I am mistaken about sites having multiple database, here is an example of what I mean: Scroll down and you will see Monsters, People, and Items.

Last but not least, how do I access my MySQL database through vDeck?

I am a total newbie PHPer and if anybody doesn't want to write any long strips of code but do want to help you can just post a URL for me. :-)

You dont make a seperate database for each item. Maybe a seperate table, but even that depends. You really need to find some tutorials on database design and in particular [i]database normalization[/i].

We can help with your design but you would at least need to make a start on it. Database design concepts can be quite in depth and really need to be carried out by someone who knows the data and the search criteria. ie; You.

Looking at your example, that [i]Person database[/i] is actually just a table.

What do you mean by a [i]table[/i]? Are you talking about the website-search engine or the items that you find when you search the search engine [i]ie; the monsters, items, and people[/i]

Honestly, with questions like that you are long way from making anything with php/mysql. Databases store tables, tables store fields and fields store data.
