Setting up one database to run two or more scripts

Post by Clintw »

Hey everyone,

New to the world of programming, especially database. I have question about if it possible to run for example 2 or more shoutboxes on 2 or more web sites from the same database. I would setup a different table for each shoutbox, but all would be located in same database. Would this work or is there another way to make this happen.

Thanks for your sites, they are a great help,

Clint

It's entirely possible as long as you have the right to access the database from the required websites. Some hosts may not let you access a MySQL database from an external site but if it's your own box you shouldn't have too many problems.
