I have a question about either method. Would it be possible to login under on site. Manually change the siteid in the url and then be surfing another site (logged in)? If so, are there any security issues with this? What would happen to the session id?

However, I would suggest that you do both, as this would gain your portability as well. Robert -----Original Message----- From: Dan Stein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 3:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Witango-Talk: Multiple DB vs. Site ID I am in the process of rebuilding an application so it can be resold to customers. In some cases customers will elect to have me manage the hosting which I will be contracting out. I could build one database and manage the data with one set of taf files and then pull data based on the site ID ( I expect this all to be relatively low volume sites with periodic burst of users but averaging 1000 to 5,000 members per customer. Or would it make more sense to create a new database for each customer and build the taf files so they were dynamic in terms of what database they hit and what look and feel they loaded. Seems like the later is best to me. I'm wondering what the list thinks.
