I have multiple domains hosted in Drupal: abc1.com, abc2.com, abc3.com, etc. and want to use CRM. Each Drupal uses a different database, DB1_drpl, DB2_drpl, DB3_drpl

I have already installed CiviCRM for abc1.com, and I specified CiviCRM DB to be the same as drupal, which is DB_drpl1. If i continue and use different Drupal databases for the additional CiviCRM, will I still face problem related to visibility.

I do not want the sites to share any contacts, groups, etc. Want the sites to be independent ... want a multi-org implementation. We will have some users that are common to the sites, but we want their activity or contributions to be visible only from the pertinent site.

In the documentation i see references to use for multi sites, and not for multi orgs. Does separating DB take care of this? Want to get clarification before I try it out.

If you setup them as separate database instances, there will be no way to share data between them – it seems like this is what you want (note that this is not really a ‘multisite’ CiviCRM install, but separate CiviCRM installs that share at most the codebase, but not their databases).

Note that – unless you have other constraints, like limits in your hosting plan – I would recommend to keep the CiviCRM databases separate from Drupal ones.

thanks for the note.
This is exactly what we want: Share codebase, but not data.
