Database creation. - aude11360 - 2010-07-10
Please excuse me for being a bit dim! I have a SQL database for my blog (wp) and also a couple of others on my hosting account. These have all been set from my hosting control panel automatically when I've installed hosted software.
If I upload Zen Photo, does it automatically create a new database and not have any effect on the others?
Thanks in advance,
Richard (a SQL database phobic)

Although it is indeed able to create a database this is bascially never allowed on shared hosts at all. So best is you set up a database before running Zenphoto setup. The databse tables for Zenphoto are prefixed with "zp_" by default so there is no conflict with existing tables that use the same database.
