    talking about this plugin: http://rmarsh.com/plugins/poc-cache/

    as I am using several widgets/plugins from that site, I'd like to make this cache plugi navailable and automatically activated for all blogs, but if I activae it for alle blogs using the plugin commander, it only generates wp_1_poc_cache table, only for blog #1

    I don't know if this is a plugin commander or plugin output cache issue, any hints?

    here is a little excerpt from the plugins code:

    define('POC_CACHE', true);
    $poc_table = $wpdb->prefix.'poc_cache';

    I'm the plugin author and I would be happy to do what I can to make the plugin work with WPMU but right now I know nothing at all about how WPMU differs from WP.

    One big difference is that blog tables are wp_*_table name. I listed the table structure here if that helps:

    the ideal implementation would be to have it auto-activated, no control panel displayed for the users, except for the siteadmin - and the cache properly separated for each blog :-)
    *nice wishlist* :-) I'll have a look at the plugin myself, and Rob if we can answer soem mroe questions for you please feel free to ask, we'll try and assist you.

    In MU:

    In terms of creating a table correctly, and/or setting it up to be used as wpdb->table_name:

    $wpdb->prefix
    This is the prefix for individual blog tables.

    If you need a "global" table:
    $wpdb->base_prefix

    Again, this is only relevant when creating tables, or incorporating them into the wpdb object. For example:

    $wpdb->my_blog_table = $wpdb->prefix . 'my_blog_table';
    $wpdb->my_global_table = $wpdb->base_prefix . 'my_global_table';

    Now those tables for the plugin can be called as:
    $wpdb->my_blog_table or $wpdb->my_global_table

    There are plenty of other differences, and don't forget to ensure all queries are optimized, and to only load code when and if it is necessary.
