With PHP, is a script accessing 2 databases on the same account more intensive then using just one database.

Example, the first database has news articles, the second forums, and the third a user database. These are all relating to the same site.

Is there any benefit putting them all in one db, aside from organzational issues?

Do you have to connect twice to the db, or once? Server implications?

Thanks, Joseph
