My question, a site needed two applications, phpBB and a blog for example, would it be feasible (I'm sure it's possible) to run both from the database? None of my databases are close to 1% of their allowed file size, so I am not worried about that for the time.
Would it be as simple as running the setup programs (I doubt this), some minor editing (I could probabaly do this) or am I looking at a catastrophic overhaul of the pho coding *and* the database to do this, or is it not even worth it and just look at what sites *really* need the database and trim from there?
Nah, you can do it.
I have it in few sites, and I don't really see a performance difference. May be as the site grows and the data piles up you might need to put them independently.
Give a different prefix to the tables of phpBB from that of the blog, to easily identify them and to avoid replacing one with the other.
They will have a table name similar to the ff:
phpBB_table1
blog_table1
Habtom
