Hi,

I was recently assigned to finish a project started by a previous employee.  
The objective is to collect data from numerous geographic locations, and 
then analyze the data at the central office.  The goal is to look for 
combined corporate trends and present statistical results and selected data 
in a web browser client.  So far so good.

The prototype that was provided, using MySQL and PHP, has four separate 
sample location databases with hard-coded queries to correlate information 
from different locations.  My problem is that I will have to expand this 
prototype to production use, and with the "one database per location" 
philosophy, I could end up with dozens, if not hundreds, of separate 
databases to correlate.

Does anyone know of an advantage of using this many databases?  Opinions?

Thanks,
