 * Hi
 * I have tried to create a network of sites by using the multisite feature. It 
   works fine.
 * But in DB another 9 tables added for the new site.
 * Is any option / plugin available to create network of sites without creating 
   separate tables for the sites?

 * That’s normal, and expected. It’s done like that because there’s no way for WordPress
   to determine which posts/pages/etc belong to which blog/site. It is really nothing
   to worry about. Extra DB tables really take almost no extra space then having
   one big table with everything in it, and it makes database queries a whole lot
   faster as it doesn’t have to search through everything to get results that are
   for that one site only.

 * There’s only one codebase installation, so the themes are all stores in the `/
   wp-content/themes` folder.
 * Plugins may be differnt because you can have MU (Must-Use) plugins as well as
   standard optional plugins.
