maxium sql database

[kringlekrew51]

my question is, i have one free hosted account and on the available sql databases it says im allowed to have 4 total, but once i create 2 databases it gives me a warning stating "you are currently using the maximum number of mysql database. if you need more please contact your service provider." now how come when i get to 2 databases it give me that warning, and secondly the pstgreSQL server is always saying its currently offine. Is the postgresql my other 2 sql databases that i get? when will the postgresql databases be back online or will they and if not then can i get the MySQL databases increased or resolved?


thank you for your time, and i look forward to the help/responce.

thank you

You only get 2 MySQL databases. There is no ETA on PostGres.

then what would i have to do to get more databases or put more programs into 1 database, and what is the max size of the databases i have?

Most scripts (WordPress, Drupal, etc) have the option to use "table prefixes", ie they add something like wp_ in front of their 'username' table to make it 'wp_username' so that it won't clash with table names from other scripts.

The 'max size' is dependent on the MySQL server, which should be big enough for most legitimate sites.
