Simple programming question.


Question

Hello guys.

 

Let say I have a two Ubuntu Linux servers. One is the database and the second is WordPress (PHP). Suppose that I know lets say Python. Can I make a new server and connect to the same database and do some work on it without effecting the WordPress?

 

Thanks,

I think it depends on what you want to do. If you want to edit the WordPress database directly, you may end up impacting your WordPress by changing data. If you create a second database on the database server, the databases won't interfere with each other.

If you have control of the 3 servers, you can do anything you want. You can install a variety of OSS DB software such as Neo4j, Apache Giraph, Apache Ignite, Maria DB, Cassandra, CarbonData, Apache Arrow, InfluxDB, Presto DB, Vitess, etc etc

 

At the opposite end, if you are using some sort of hosting plan with one free database plan provided then you may not even be able to make a separate database within the typical cheapo MySQL hosting plan usually included. In that case you need to make new SQL Tables with names that won't conflict with Wordpress.

 

Other side effects would be performance issues if your servers  have any real world usage load.

 

FWIW, nobody designs software applications around servers anymore - find hosting that is  based on Docker Containers for fine grained control, and there is even a growing trend to Serverless Architectures, for example OpenFAAS

    • It only includes Russia. All other territories come at an additional cost of $20/pm/per territory you want to use it in.
    • From cars to cosmos: Honda's experimental rocket aces first landing test by Paul Hill Image via Honda Watch your back SpaceX, the Japanese company Honda has just performed a successful first launch of its experimental reusable rocket. The 6.3 meter rocket, which weighs 900kg, reached a modest altitude of 271.4 meters, but managed to land within 37cm of its target (1.2 feet), which is certainly pretty close. The rocket took off from a Honda facility in Taiki Town, Hokkaido, a growing space town in Japan. The flight time was also modest, coming in at just 56.6 seconds, but in that time, Honda was able to demonstrate key reusability technologies such as flight stability and landing capability. This marks a significant milestone for Honda’s space R&D department, which began work just four years ago. If you remember the tests SpaceX was performing around 2012 with Grasshopper, well Honda is at about the same stage with its reusable rocket. Why Honda is building rockets: Beyond cars and motorcycles Honda said that it wants to leverage core technologies it already works on for offering space services. It said that reusable rockets are a key part of sustainable space transportation. By 2029, the company wants to be able to perform suborbital launches, and while commercialization hasn’t been decided yet, it sees itself launching remote-sensing and wide-area communication satellites in the future. The Japanese car maker sees growing demand for satellite launches and wants to be involved by developing reusable rockets which could help it perform such launches economically. If it does end up finding customers, it will add more competition to the rocket launch sector. While the company hasn’t confirmed this, by developing its own launch system, it could eventually be in a position to launch its own satellites that could provide services to its cars to add value for customers. The competitive landscape and Japan's space ambitions Honda is just the latest company to join the growing list of companies trying to develop reusable rocket technology. The most famous companies doing this are SpaceX and Blue Origin, but there are also lots of other companies around the world also developing this technology. Honda is still taking baby steps compared to SpaceX, but it shows that the company is taking a focused, step-by-step approach, and achieving successes as noted by this launch. Hopefully, the company ends up providing tough competition against SpaceX, Blue Origin, and other companies so that it can help to drive down prices and spur on innovation.
    • Does that subscription include international data roaming, inclusive of Russia?
    • If you're stupid enough to try and get one, each and every headache along the way is on you. I can only hope that these roadblocks on a pre-order are enough to dissuade people.
