 * **How to configure hyperdb in wordpress for multiserver databases?**
 * I am having 100 blogs for the wordpress multisite. it will grow in the future
   may be it will become 200. Now i want to partition each blog’s tables to seperate
   database or in group of blogs in one database.
 * So, my question is : Is it possible to use multiple databases concurrently for
   multisite for each blog’s tables or group of blog’s table?
 * I have configured hyperdb and have created 3 different blogs like site, site2,
   site3 here site is default blog for which database is called from my localhost,
   for site 2 and site 3 other databases are called from other server hosts. here
   issue is 2 out of 5 times it is giving error like ERROR ESTABLISHING DATABASE
   CONNECTION. So what should be done to overcome this issue.
 * In case there are other alternative solution to HyperDB, please let me know.

 * Hi GTLWPDEV,
 * I’m also experiencing the similar issue, As soon as i enable HYPER-DB on my WP-
   MS and try to create a new sub-site I’m keep getting “ERROR ESTABLISHING DATABASE
   CONNECTION” error message, what i also found whenever i enabled the HYPER-DB,
   hyper-db doesn’t create new tables for that particular website in a database.
   BUT everything works fine in my normal wp-config.php.
 * Are you able to advsie, you also experiencing same issue or you can successfully
   create new sub-site by using HYPER-DB ?
 * Please advise ..
 * Thank you,
    Sam
