Re: best practice: mysql_multi, VMs w/single instance per or doesn't matter?

[Johan De Meersman]

Other people have answered with pros and cons of virtualisation, but I would rather ask
another question: why do you feel it necessary to split up the database?

If it's only used for QC, it's probably not in intensive use. Why would you go through the
bother of splitting it up? You're staying on the same server, apparently, so you'll have
to decide which instance gets what part of cpu, memory and other resources, you'll have
to provide separate backup for all instances, et cetera; while leaving things as they are
is zero effort.

What is the problem with the current setup that will be resolved by splitting?
