This seems to be the best option of the one you presented. If you start duplicating data you will have a situation where your data will get out of sync eventually. You can have a lookup table with the keys to the items that belong to website two, just look in the lookup table to get your key, then get the row. This eliminates the need to have an extra column on every table. Best of luck Nate Tobik (412)661-5700 x206 VigilantMinds 4. Add a field to each table that will differentiate which website the record belongs to. e.g. 'SELECT * FROM orders WHERE website = 2'. Now that I'm thinking about it, this option seems to ultimately be the same as #1. I can't think of any inherent benefits to this option. Which option should I go for? Is there another option I'm not considering? Thanks! Chris. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
