DB one or two?

Post by pinehead18 »

I have a website which has forums and a message system and a user system. I keep all my user stuff such as mail and what not in one db, then i have a seperate db with all the tables to the forum. Should i just keep all the tables tot he site inside of one db?

Thank you
Anthony

I keep one DB myself, just for the added ease of not having to select a different database all the time, or including the database name(s) in my queries.. keep it clean. :)
