Two installations in same database? (3 posts)

    Hi

    Im thinking of running WPMU twice in the same database. How is that done?

    I do not get an opportunity to give the table names a prefix, and i do not see and sql file to modify.

    Is this possible?

    The reason being (correct me if I'm wrong) is because it seems a bit redundant to install two WPMU into the same database. Since the blogs get their own auto generated prefix (i.e. WP1_, WP2_), I would think trying to run 2 WPMu on 1 database would create a mess.

    Is there any specific reason why you want to do this?

    I wouldn't do a single database just simply because of the number of tables you're allowed within a single database. You're just going to hit that more quickly.
