 * Hello all!
 * My name is Djane and this is my first post here.
 * I was wondering if the multisite feature of wordpress is really made for haldling
   a lot of sites when in multisite mode?
 * I created a site where in you can create your won blog. kinda like wordpress.
   com or blogspot.
 * But the problem was the database crashed because I have around 1,300 users and
   my database has 11,000 tables. Then it got some weird logic errors. My hosting
   said it was due to some errors in the database. I suspected it was because of
   the oversize database. What do you think guys?

 * WordPress.com is using multisite, for what it’s worth, so … Yes **BUT** that’s
   not your issue 🙂
 * It’s not that Multisite cant’ handle a large DB, it’s that large databases can
   become … narky.

 * yeah, you are long past the point of scaling. And as Ipstenu said – it’s not 
   the fault of wordpress here. any db-driven setup would have had the same issues.
