Ole Thyge Plannthin Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I have a system with 2 totally separate families. I would like to work in TNG with total separation of the two families - different user groups, various templates, etc. How should I set up TNG to achieve this. My web hotel does not allow multiple MySQL databases.Can anyone offer some advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillgenealogy Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I'd get a different webhost. There are plenty of even cheap ones that will give you multiple or even unlimited databases. The TNG Hosting link at the top of this page offers 5 databases for under $5/month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariahswind Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I haven't tried this but it is possible to have two installations of TNG in one database. Just change the prefix of your second installation to something other than tng_. In the installation it gives you this option. You can have multiple content management system installations using one database as long as they don't create the same names for the tables. Thus the need to change the prefix for each installation.

Thus the need to change the prefix for each installation.A variation of the above would be to * have 2 instances of TNG, both addressing same database* have 2 trees in the same database* allow each family access to their own tree, via user privileges.That way, as an administrator, life would be easier for you in maintaining the database.
