What are the advantages and disadvantages of using multiple databases, versus placing all tables in one uber-database?
I understand and appreciate the organizational value of multiple databases, but what other issues are involved? I ask this because I'm considering moving from tables across multiple DBs (on one server) to all tables in one DB (on one server.) I don't want to do this, but may need to given the constraints of perl's Class::DBI and Ima::DBI. Specifically, I am stuck on successfully handling transactions and rollback across multiple databases, because Ima::DBI creates a different handle (eg connection) to each database, which stymies rollback (as the work is happening thru different cxns). I'd welcome any suggestions about structuring databases -- one vs. many -- and if anyone has advice about the perl issues, that'd be great too.
