    <p>I'm building an application (using the zend framework) where we will have multiple clients who login and use the application, and each of these clients will be storing lots of data about their users (I'm using MySQL btw).</p> <p>Basically I'm wondering 2 things:</p> <ol> <li><p>Is having multiple databases, one for each client (ie. ipd_client_CLIENTNAME) with identical tables a stupid idea? Or will it actually be more responsive (than putting everything in one database) if we have 50 clients with 20,000 users' data in 'their' database? I've already managed to build the same system but all on one database, my model classes simply grab the name of the client logged in (in the model classes' init() method) and then dynamically change the name of the table they grab data from, is this going to be just fine?</p></li> <li><p>If the "every client on the system gets their own database" makes sense, how exactly would I dynamically change what database my db models connect to (based on which client is logged in)?</p></li> </ol> <p>In case this made no sense, here's an example of what the databases would look like in the two different scenarios (given 2 clients registered on the system):</p> <p><strong>Multiple Databases:</strong></p> <p>ClientA has a database called "ipd_clients_ClientA" with tables "users", "lists".</p> <p>ClientB has a database called "ipd_clients_ClientB" with tables "users","lists".</p> <p><strong>Single Database:</strong></p> <p>ClientA has tables called "users_ClientA", "lists_ClientA".</p> <p>ClientB has tables called "users_ClientB", "lists_ClientB".</p> <p>Hopefully that makes sense.</p> <p>Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!</p>

COJust so you can get a better idea of what I'm doing, I'm building something similar to MailChimp, so our clients using the app will be storing various information about their subscribers (when I use the terms "users" above, I mean subscribers, so they won't also be users on our system, only our clients will be).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
