multiple databases question

[c4smok]

I currently run vbulletin forums with other services linked in to the same database. But it has started to become really hard to manage.. around over 200+ tables..

I was wondering if there was a way I could put my services into another database and still use the plug-in system to have them linked into the forums for all the connections and vars. My current system I have one database with my services in tables of one database..

Thanks for reading, looking for a clean way to do this like a plugin on start or something.

Thank you for your time,

As long as the MySQL user for vBulletin has access to the other database, you can use the standard MySQL "database.table" syntax.

I seem to be getting a database error for the forum system when I try to use that.


This is the current code I use to bring over vars from other tables in the same database.

This is the changes I made based on your advice which I may not be doing correctly. The user for both databases have the same access also.
