PP, RP & VB all on database?

[BobHarbison]

I'm considering using a VB discussion forum with a photopost gallery and a reviewpost reviews section. Now I know VB and PP can work together, been there done that. My question is whether I can also have RP access the same member database? Will it cause any conflicts or other issues? Will having all 3 use the database slow down the system or PP etc?

Thanks!

I would only consider database size

Since VB and VBportal are big enough as it is I do this

1. Database 1 has VB and VBportal

2. Database 2 has PP,RP and Classifieds

Only thing you need to do is make sure all our products have different table prefix's

I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't clear on what database. I only want to share the member database, to provide on log in for all programs. Also, I have no plans to add classifieds into the mix, at least not for now. I also don't run VBportal, nor do I plan to.

Would sharing the member database be an issue?

I would not think so the only thing you need to watch for is mysql database size. I separate them to keep databases smaller and more lean

Even the member databases?
