thryb Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 2 database limit mean you can create 2 database for you site, If they didnt put any size restriction on the DB then you actually can use as much table as you want, wich mean you can use prefix to separate your table from a website a & b. IE: [MyTable] a_ExampleID a_ExampleName ... b_ExampleID b_ExampleName ... Thats not the best, but it work well and keep you out of confusion. Was that you question ?

AndyB Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 @ zgkhoo: Take a very deep breath before you respond next. It's near impossible for anyone to answer your question because it's so very vague. Databases have intrinsic overhead. An empty database takes disk space. So splitting one Mb of data into five databases will occupy more disk space than leaving one Mb of data in a single database. The usual solution to _very_large_databases_ is to consider the design and structure of the tables. That's what normalization is about. Perhaps you should Google that to be sure you understand its impact. And normally, data size allocation (regardless of how many databases it's split into) is a function of your web host or web server. With that in mind, and referring to the MySQL reference manual which details size restrictions, what is your real question and why is it significant?
