Does anyone here open a second MySQL database and use that as a straight
IDX type file that points to the record number in the main database, for
speed's sake?
Some time ago I'd set up a standard php login routine and hit a brick
wall as then found out that my host didn't allow external login's (at
that time) with MySQL (true!) so I got around it by writing a random
access database with separate IDX files for username and passwords for
cross-referencing.
Things have all changed and the php/MySQL setup is as standard, so I
have to rewrite the checking routines which leaves me to wonder if
others use a second MySQL database as an Index file for any reason or is
it all fast enough using one database?
Or even, is there any point changing at all?
Many thanks,
Richard.
