3 sites for 1 database

hello,
I want to know if it was possible to have three totally different websites (templates, members, pictures ...) with the same database?

I read this: topic1 and this topic2
And I saw that opinions were divided, but it is a little dated

Is this with version 7.1.1 this is possible? and how?
Thank you for your opinion

Its possible probably after lots of changes to give each site tables a unique prefix but i don't think it a good idea at all. Specially on shared. 3 sites using 1 database will get you banned. If there is a limit of 1 database then its for a reason. You have a very limited resource there.

so much to do....

Each site in the database will need to have its own prefixes for the tables to differentiate each site.  Dolphin does not ship with this built in, even in 7.1.; you will need to go through the code for Dolphin, and for third party modules (which, by the way are usually licensed for one site only, so you will need to buy a copy for each site) as well, and code for the prefix usage.  Other than that, yes, it is possible with work.

As for the banning by your host, that is going to depend on your host; Dolphin can be a database intensive application depending on what is being done with the site.  Three sites running with many users could cause you to bump up against your database resources.  However, that might not happen; it could but depends.  If you don't get banned, then you will be asked to lower the resources you are using or they will throttle the sites.

I guess we should ask this of you, "Why do you need to run three sites on one database?  Is it a limitation by your host to just one database?"

And both of those topics are referring to running multiple sites. Perhaps a different template(theme) Different domains, but all sharing the same members.

Your asking for something different and those topics are not the same situation.

Doing what you want could be done, but would require quite a bit of work to prefix all the tables. But running 3 totally different sites is really best suited to 3 totally separate databases.

If this is something your looking to do because your host will not allow more than one database, then i strongly suggest a new new host.

Hello you three,
thank you for your answers, it helped me and I will abandon this project
and try to see it differently!

I am not limited database
This is because my first site linked to a chat and I tied one database to chat and I wanted to link my other two sites
I'll look for another solution on the side of my provider chat

thank you again

If the chat uses prefixes for the tables, then yes, the chat could be installed on the same database that Dolphin is using.
