    Yes ... most forums and blogs have theirs table name with a prefix in front ! For example smf forum have smf_ in front of each table ... So, normaly you can use the same database for both programs.

    Lixe sacx13 said, there are prefixed. Another way - there are no prefixes for tables. Then create several databases - I think, hosting plan allow it.

    I am allowed to creat only one database, that's why maybe I will need the prefixes...

    JUs ue the prefixes, as long as you keep the prefixes different for the foum the blog, you should be fine also I don't see why there would be a problem with backing up :)
