You couldn't do one with some different tables? What was justification for both separate DB's and the Q&D/meta split? Just curious.



If you did different tables, that's even more complicated by making every query dynamic. It also makes backups, etc. far more complicated as well. Multiple databases is simply the simplest solution for multiple things that need a database with the same schema :)


Appreciate the tip.
