Question:

Is it a poor design to access, with one user, multiple databases to output content from a database on one page?

Plan is to:

1. Call a user

2. Connect to database

3. Echo out the content

4. Close the connection

5. Connect to another database with same user

6. Output content again

And repeat this process with about 10 different databases.

Do you have codes for each step in this plan? it is normal PHP/Mysql queries or do you use a framework to do them?

And repeat this process with about 10 different databases.
Why you need 10 different databases for this page? for what purposes?

That's a good question. I might just need different tables, do you agree?



Also because I already built the DB based this way and it takes too long to fix it now =p

Sorry but it's true.

If i don't know what purposes and why you want 10 differetn database in this case then I am not sure which idea is better, 10 tables or 10 databases.

Also because I already built the DB based this way and it takes too long to fix it now =p

Sorry but it's true.
What way have you build your DB? any sample queries?

Actually I haven't scripted any queries yet. Basically, this is a screenshot of my database:

And then on my index.php there are sections like this:

<aside>
<footer>

ect.

Aside will call from one database, footer will call from another. The goal is to centralize all of the content from one place, an admin panel.

In application, this section of the website would call from a database called "spotlight_section" which has 7 table elements (+1 for ID). And it would display the content from the DB like so:

Interesting discussions, I would suggest you just using a database and using how many tables you wanted, it depends on you. Don't open new database connections if they have same data type and it's just for output content on a page. If you open/close multi connections with many databases, it will make your site load slowly sometimes overload.

From the image mentioned above, you can call data in table by queries and echo where you want them display.

Its kinda non standard way its true would be much better to join all database in one single database, I mean just make the single set of tables with the different prefixes, so it wont cause any table names conflicts. But if it isn't a solution for you you can do it your way. Just try to find out the processing time and mysql server loading.

Rather than closing the connection, I would recommend (If the same mysql user has access on all of those db) mysqli_seclect_db() assuming your using php.

It's just a single statement issued, and saves the connecting and disconnecting jitter
