Databases

[RickB412]

I'am installing a vBull forum on my already existing website. For the vBull install do I need to create a seprate mysql database for the vBull or can I use the existing database that I already use for my site? :rolleyes:

You can use an existing database if you install vB with a unique table prefix (this setting is in config.php.)

However I would recommend using a separate db if you can. Otherwise if something happens to that db, all your applications using it might be affected.

Great help and thanks Steve. I'll just set up a new database for my forums! ;)

P.S. What the heck's wrong with the Sun Devils this year? What a disappointment they've been.

Boy I cant answer whats going on with ASU. I go to EVERY game, being an alumni, but they just can't get it rolling. Last year was a real treat right up till the end and I do believe that ASU got goofed over in the way the finals were aloted!

My brother has had season tickets for ASU football for several year. He's not a happy camper right now.

I do to and I know we could be doing better, but I love the games anyway, win lose or draw. I went to ASU on a football scholarship myself, so I really appreciate the devotion to the game that most of ASU fans have.
