Can I install on a seperate DB ?

Hello

I am sorry if this has been answered before.

My site is using a DB right now. Would I be able to create a separate DB and install form tools onto the new DB instead of the one my site is using at the moment ?

Thanks

Hi,

Assuming that the web host you use allows you to have more than one db, then it should be fine. Even if they don't, you can normally have more than one service accessing a db.

Hi hopper - yes, exactly. But using the same database might be more convenient: the installation script lets you choose a custom database prefix for your Form Tools database tables so you won't have to worry about them interfering with tables from other applications.

Good luck!
