multi-user single database

Hi all,

would it be possible to have a shared installation but with a single database?

If someone has already answered this I am sorry I have missed it, I couldn't find anything related to this.

Basically I was thinking to have a single database (serendipity_db) but to create a new table for each user. My problem is that my host doesn't give me too many databases.

I am running Wordpress at the moment but I wanted to switch to serendipity. In WP, you assign a table to each user in their config php file. Is there a similar file in serendipity where I can assign the database infos?

Thanks for your help

Hi!

Yes, you can use a single database, with different table prefixes!

The "table prefix" only gets available when you choose the "Expert installation".
