mallen Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I am working on an application where users will upload images. I also have a forum using PHPBB. Is it possible to have a database for the users including ID, posts, and images and a separate database for the forums? The forum database has 30 tables and it seems easier to just add the extra tables to it. But if I can use some type of join I would rather keep the two separate. I have to keep the two linked somehow so if they log in to the web site they are logged in to the forum and vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid Fire Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 as long as they are on the same server sure: SELECT d1.whatever, d2.whatever FROM database_one.table d1, database_two.table d2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
