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?
