Pros / Cons Sql database
March 16, 2012, 09:15:08 am
I know it is recommended to have a separate sql database for my civicrm installation on wordpress, but am i losing anything by doing this?  I am just worried of having separate accounts that dont communicate with each other.  Is there a list of pros for using the same sql database?

Thanks

Nothing whatsoever.

That's not how it works--they can "communicate" just fine. There may be one "pro" for using one database--if you find it easier to migrate sites that way.

But don't worry--you are not missing out on anything by using two databases.

It's actually one account, not two. The two dbs should have the same sql user.
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.
