Please take a look at my CONFIG-INC.PHP Variables

O.K., I'm setting up my MySQL database. I have a forum so I would like to integrate with that. I'm assuming the documentation is still accurate when it says that for performance and flexibility, I should install into the same database with a custom 'table prefix'.

My current forum database is let's say vbulletin_forumbase with one user, let's call him vbulletin_vbulletin

So, looking at the CONFIG-INC.PHP Variables, please tell me if the below is correct

PhotoPost Classifieds Database Host -> localhost
PhotoPost Classifieds Database Name -> vbulletin_forumbase
PhotoPost Classifieds Database User -> vbulletin_vbulletin
PhotoPost Classifieds Database Password -> insert password to vbulletin_forumbase here
PhotoPost Classifieds Database Prefix (cannot be changed once set) -> cp_

User Database Host (enter same info as above if not integrating with a third party forum) -> localhost
User Database Name -> vbulletin_forumbase
User Database User -> vbulletin_vbulletin
User Database Password -> insert password to vbulletin_forumbase here

Thanks, I'm getting there!

That would work or separate databases whichever you decide

Thanks Chuck..is there a noticeable performance bonus if I integrated my PhotoPost Classifieds database with my forum database? I'd prefere to keep the databases separate, just because I like to keep things organized like that, but if the performance is noticeably better, I'll go with the integration.

performance is negligible in my mind
