Hello,
sorry if someone’s already asked this question but i didn’t find anything about. How much wordpress installation do you suggest to do on the same DB? Do you think that having 1 DB for each installation is better?I am starting out as an adult affiliate so I am not certain about that.
Thank you.
Best regards.
Multiple wp installs would use different tables. wp_1 or wp_2 etc, to keep them separate from conflict. I’d not use the wp_ prefix myself, but use different two letter/number combinations to avoid hacking, but you can have lots of installs on one db.
Now there might be some technical reason to avoid that, such as speed, and all, but that’s something a techie would have to answer. I don’t know of any ‘limits’ being mentioned by WP on how many installs per db.
Codex.wordpress.org/Installing_Multiple_Blogs That provides some additional info, plus things I’ve seen around the web also caution on using one database … the database gets huge, and upgrades can be a real royal PITA.
