Thanks guys that is really helpful information. Is there any significant performance or resource tradeoffs when choosing between putting everything in one big database vs splitting it into one for each "client"? Personally I like the idea of keeping everything as separate as possible, but if this mean that it had some major tradeoff that would be good to know.
