If they use different databases, then the shared info (like users) is a problem.
How much of a problem? More hassle than it's worth? (I have a feeling the answer is "yes," but I thought it was worth asking)
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Like you'd have to have two user IDs and log in twice, and there'd be no direct connection between the two sites, at first blush.
It's possible the site hosts will allow two domains to connect to the same table, but I don't know how sound a solution that would be.

ita, I'll pass that question along to Steven with some others I have for him.

Generally speaking, this is not allowed by webhosts.
I had other things that I was going to say but I think they've been blocked by this headache I have behind my eyes.

I think in the article they ended up with a wait_timeout of 60 seconds, not 30. (30 being the minimum they could get away with).

Which article is this, TB? I must have missed a post.

This article, ita. Rob linked to it upthread.

Yep, and after considering it while I was in the shower I think that something like five minutes would work for Buffistas. I can't believe the system leaks hundreds of connections in a few minutes, or it would be bringing the server down all the time.

Ah. Okay. I did miss that. Kristen's pitching it, so we'll see.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
If Steve does wind up changing wait_timeout, he'll need to make sure server threads get cached properly (they don't by default). This blog entry by one of Yahoo's database masters has more details.
While I'm here: Kristen, I humbly apologise for not getting back to you about CVS a while ago; my life had something of a meltdown. ita, did you get my mail a few weeks ago about CVS and the developer list? I'll take down my server if Kristen's got our needs covered.
Also, insent to ita re: developer list and SQL.

Do we have enough mySQL's to change the Random Quotes at least once a day? I like the Woodstock line, but it's not that good. :)
