Just purchased my subscription to your service. Congratulations to you for all your fabulous work!!! Quality is not only outstanding, but a genuine pleasure after frustration elsewhere...

I'm looking for tutorial and best practices for use of multiple databases on multiple portals. Looked but haven't yet found.

Any DNN Creative issue devoted to this yet? Are you planning one? If so, when will it appear?

If in future, any links to FAQs or tutorials found elsewhere?

Relevant issues for multiple databases for multiple portals should address:

-- when and why

-- performance

-- recommended handling of multiple dataconnection strings if one host instance manages multiple portals stored in different databases: Is that even possible with current framework or does that require special customization?

These are some of the issues that come to mind immediately but I'm sure there are others related as well that could be addressed.

Thanks again for your great work!

You can't really handle multiple portals and multiple databases with a single installation of DotNetNuke. It's just not designed to do that.

If you want each website to have its own database, then your solution is to install multiple installations of DotNetNuke. That's the "recommended" method when you are supporting multiple clients as it really does keep the content and membership information separate. And ... if one site causes an installation to fail, it doesn't affect the others.
