Multiple OLD databases! Which ones to delete? (3 posts)

    Hi Guys,

    I had to move between hosts and then change the database suffix. Now, I have around 3 databases, with 3 different suffixes. This is slowing my site down.
    My question is - how do I verify which ones do I delete?

    Thanks!

    it really shouldn't slow your site down as wordpress only connects to the db with table prefix defined in wp-config.php

    if you feel you need to delete them - whatever db and table prefix combo is in wp-config.php - do not delete

    I thought it does because the database size of the older databases is more than the one that I am currently using.
    Okay. Will let delete and let you know.
    Thanks for your response! :-)
