>Hello All, >How do I determine the best architecture for my MySQL database? Years of painful but fulfilling experience :) Seriously ..... you need a generic tutorial on 'database design' - try google >Do I create multiple databases or do I create only one database with >multiple tables? (Any general rules of thumb?) one database per project, multiple tables, unless you have a specific reason not to >How do I know if I need to use Keys, Indexes or other features in order to >optimize the database? Always best to index on fields used in queries, and always key tables unless you have a reason not to - google search for tutorial/info on 'database design and normalisation' If you have any more questions or any more specific questions once you get started just ask....
