A database inside a database

[jncr]

I am making a website for my school that students can create forums using phpBB, which requires a database for each forum. This process has to be done automatically, and there are many students that will be using this. Is it possible to have 1 database that serves all of the created accounts? Or if it is not possible how do you automatically create a database?

Thanks for all future help.

Try asking at:

It is possible.

In the setup page, there's a "table prefix" field or something like it. If each student that sets up a forum uses a unique table prefix, all the tables can co-exist in one database.
