Thanks perrin.

One other off-topic question: if we refactor the DBs into one monster DB over time, what are the downsides? It is harder for our power users to find tables, maybe, if everything is in one big bag. But beyond that, are there any CDBI downsides? Any database performance issues? Backup issues? The earlier comment about BLOBs was instructive -- while we're not using them, the comment made us realize that refactoring many small INNODBs into one large INNODB could have other consequences of which we're not aware......

(apologies for this OT post, but it continues the thread, and we're curious.)
