We currently have our Drupal and CiviCRM files in one database (I know that was not the recommended way.) Assuming I can load the Drupal tables into one database and the CiviCRM files in a separate database, what are the considerations for settings?

Thanks.

We tend to have ours in the same DB - I haven't found the arguments one way or the other very compelling. If you separate them you need to think about:

1) views - if you use views you will have to set up views prefixing
2) custom code - if you have any custom code and it runs direct SQL you'll need to fix that before you make the change

Aside from what Eileen said, the only settings change is to adjust the line starting:

Code: [Select]

define( 'CIVICRM_DSN' ...
in sites/default/civicrm.settings.php
