I run XF and also an online store using CS-Cart. I was wondering what were the pros and cons of having 2 separate databases, 1 for XF and 1 for the shop, OR, having the one database that has both XF and shop tables in it...the shop has around 190 tables and is only 10 to 20 mb in size yet my XF database is 600 meg in size.
It may not matter but I am using Percona, a MySQL drop in.
The shop currently has a separate user registration and login however I may be looking at using a function that will provide a single registration and login system on both...costly but I say "may" do it.
I will have the shop installed in a sub folder of XF and currently use a widget embedded into an XF page for the shop...see here:
