Number of MySQL databases allowed

[JustRightClick]

I would like to have at least two databases. One for my website data and one for my bulletin board. Right now it seems I can only have one. Is this true?

You can have more than one MySQL db. You'll be able to access them all from the MySQL tab that gets set up in OPS when you have at least one database.

After adding a database the only options are to add users. How do you add a new database? It seems you only allow one database.

Hi again,

You can order additional MySQL db's the same way you ordered the first one:

1. Log into OPS
2. Click the Packages tab
3. At the top of the yellow table, click the Type/Plan link
4. At the bottom of this Billing/Plan page that follows, click the mySQL link to order.

The question is, do you actually need more then one database?

As long as your website and your BB are using seperate tables, there's really no reason to have more then one. In fact, since most webboards allow you to define table prefixes, you can run multiple, independent, webboards from the same database.
