    • Setting Up Another Database

    Posted by tschenz

    I'd like to put another DB on my hosted wiki, not necessarily inside the wiki pages, but it could go outside the wiki with links to the TWiki Forum discussions. It would be in mySQL with the pages written in PHP. Is this possible? Any landmines I need to be aware of? Anything that my host needs to do?

    I don't think it's clear what you want to do. What would be the purpose of the database? What functionality do you want to add to your site?

    You could add tables to your Tiki database if you wanted, as long as there are no name conflicts with Tiki's tables.

    More info:

    Let's say I have a wiki site devoted to travel in Asia and users can comment on recommendations, tips, packages, etc.

    I have another mySQL DB that's a compilation of all available trips to Asia by country, price, etc. (this is only an example. The actual DB is more complicated than this and about a completely different topic) I'd like this second DB to be searchable by users, either from within the wiki, or on the same host. There would be links to forums for people to comment onthe data in the DB. Does this help? Where can I get more info on adding tables?
