**waynevan** · 02-11-2007, 11:00 PM

Hi All,
This is my first post, so let me start by saying thakyou to everyone involved!!!

I would like to know if there is a database table name prefix when creating the tables for RC3. I have a number of carts that I am testing at present and do not want to remove any untill they are all trest with performance and functionallity.

Thanks in advances.

Cheers
Wayne

I might be wrong, but I believe you tell the cart the name of the database, so as long as your host allows one more SQL file, you should be good just giving it a unique name.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply! Unfortunatly the hosting company only give me one database, in which I can create all my tables... A bit of a bugger really!

Cheers

Actually, you might wish to contact your host. Most have an option for more, or quality hosts can accomidate your needs.
My current host only offered 1 SQL when I signed up....5 years down the road I needed another and all it took was a phone call to get four more.
