Sharing a table across multiple sites

I plan to install multiple, related XOOPS sites into a single DB. I'd like to be able to share certain tables (for Agenda-X and the Links module) to make the data available to all the sites. Here are the options I've considered:

- Removing the database prefix from all the code would work, but is a lot of effort and and would have to be re-done with every new release.
- Views. MySQL doesn't (yet) support views.
- The MySQL replication seems like overkill, but I never tried it.
- Writing a cron script to sync the seems like my best option, but I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas.

There is a way (not tested myself, but the reports have been positive) to work on several XOOPS sites off of one single database. Try searching for "multi-sites" in news and forum.

Yes, I've been following that topic and have most of it worked out. I just started playing with another option, to use a Linux/UNIX hard link of the MySQL files that comprise a table on disk. So far, results have been promising, but I'm still a little nervious about performing such trickery on a database server. It's also not an easy fix that someone else could perform through the web interface.

It would be more elegant to do this through XOOPS, because what I did has no visibility to the webmasters, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do

Very good. If he is interested in database-literate tester, I'm available.
