 * Hi,
    I have a wordpress multisite system with a single database. the database
   size is almost 1GB and the host is not going to support dbs over than 1GB. what
   I wanted to ask you please is: can I use this plugin to split this existing database
   to 4 small dbs? Thanks

 * Yes. you can do that. there are advanced documents related to this.
 * but when I tested it before, you had to manually move the sub databases of the
   multisite site you created. was updated. I’m not sure right now
