Can I have two sets of database tables in our MySql database - one for our WordPress site and one for xf? The support person I'm working with has offered to make this happen, but I believe the xf installer would then remove all the tables and install it's own. In that case the procedure would be to copy all the current tables out to another db, do the install and then copy back.
Why wouldn't we want to use the same MySql database? Speed reasons?
Some of you will probably suggest we change hosts, but that is out of my reach at the moment in terms of responsibility. Here's another option. I did pick up a very similar domain name with HostGator. I was planning to point this domain to the forum hosted elsewhere. Maybe we'll host with HostGator for the forum and be done with it.
How is this normally done with reasonably low cost? The domain is for a retired professor who has written a couple of books in his retirement and we're establishing and more general topic forum for some practical discussions on his self-help books.
Thanks for any feedback.
