 * Hello,
    I’ve been using WordPress a little over six months now, and i can say
   it works great for me. I recently got an idea that i could make two extra little
   Blogs for a few friends of mine on the same server. I just got one SQL database
   and one mySQL user, but i can simply add multiple WordPress installations with
   the change of the ‘wp_’ prefix. And that works fine.
 * But i’m just curious, but how many WordPress installations could a mySQL database
   handle?
    I can’t find any documentation about this anywhere.
 * My apologies if i posted this in the wrong subsection, or if i missed if this
   has been discussed before.
 * thanks

 * it would depend on how much space your host gives you for the database server–
   in theory, you can have unlimited installs
