[resolved] Sql for Dummies question: Do I need more than one instance of sql if... (2 posts)

    Here I get to show off my ignorance about how websites work.

    I created a sql database when I installed WordPress. Now I'm getting ready to install several other scripts that also say they need a sql set up.

    Do/will they share one installation of sql or do I need to create separate installations for each script that requires sql?

    Thanks for enlightening me.

    I don't want to wipe out my WordPress database by installing some other little script....

    Best,
    kwc

    You can almost definitely put them all together
    Wordpress tables start with wp_
    Gallery tables with g2_
    Scuttle tables with sc_
    They all have different prefixes (normally)
    so you'll be fine :)
