RE: [Phpwebsite-developers] New version and Roadmap [long]

[Jason C. <cam...@xp...>]

I like this idea too.  I thought this was how we were going to do the 
administrative engine but I could be wrong.

As for one database having multiple sites in it, I'm all for that for the 
people that want it.  I just don't see why a big ISP would want say 40 
customer sites in one database.  I know I won't be doing that for my 
customers.  Everyone is having a separate database because I think its 
safer that way in the long run.  What happens if someone corrupts their 
database for some reason?  That could corrupt all the tables for all the 
sites in some way.  Also, having them all have their own login/pw for each 
table of theirs in the database is a pain to have to do compared to just 
assigning a login/pw to a database.  I'm just not on the "go" side for 
having multiple sites in the same database as you can tell :)  Someone make 
me a believer of this concept because I see no point in it.  If I had a 
customer that wanted to run two phpWebSite installations then I'd give them 
another database /w login/pw for that site as well.  I wouldn't include the 
first and second site in the same database.  Anyways, thats my thoughts on 
it.....
