I guess I have been holding back a lot of questions.... sorry aboutthe flood!Why and when would I want to use multiple content databases for asite collection? I am looking at the following page: "ManageContent Databases" and I see that I can add multiple databases forthis virtual server. Does that mean that it will use multiples? Iam just trying to figure when I may need to do this.
You will potentially use multiple databases to horizontally partitionyour data, potentially even on different database servers. You might dothis for security reasons, for capacity/scalability reasons, for back-uprestore reasons, etc.
