Ok dont have much experience with mySQL although I use SQL quite alot at work.

Know as far as I can gather the basic breakdown is that you ahve a database - the database contains tables - the tables contain fields (each with a unique name)


now a database can contain multiple tables for many different applications to access and store data - can the same be done with mySQL?

like on my site I have a blog and a user gallery each using seperate mySQL databases but could i combine them into one database and just use seperate tables?
