Torsten, I think most ofbiz users would recommend using separate databases. This keeps everything a lot easier to manage and is less risky.
There are also some users that use Xen to install virtual manchines on the same hardware. This allows you to run multiple instances and versions of ofbiz on the same machine. Brett On 11/12/06, Torsten Schlabach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi all! We are in the process of setting up OFBiz and we're currently investigating the possibility of becoming a hosting provider for OZBiz. So we would want to rent out OFBiz to a number of customers who are entirely unrelated to each other. My question therefore is: - Should we have a completely separate database for each customer - or would it be possible to define silos or some kind of virtual chinese walls withtin in the same database for different, unrelated customers. Please note that I am not looking at different legal entities which belong to the same group of companies and do business with each other, but in theory or customers could be competitors to each other. We would therefore need to be 100% sure that customer A will never ever see any data from customer B. Is OFBiz designed in a way to support this or would separate databases the clean and or recommended way of doing this? Regards, Torsten
