I have a performance question between having a single database for all tables or splitting up tables into multiple databases.
The hosting service I use charges extra for multiple databases. Using PHP/MySQL for website. I currently have 12 tables in one database. Are there any performance advantages if I create 3 databases and split up the tables? SQL queries to insert/update data is done from the web expecting thousands page hits a day. Also, if I split up the databases...how would i perform a table join from two tables which are in different databases. Thank You!
