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

    • Detective game 'The Operator' is free to claim on the Epic Games Store this week

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Detective game 'The Operator' is free to claim on the Epic Games Store this week by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store's weekly giveaways promotion has just refreshed. Last week's offer of Two Point Hospital has now gone away, and to take its place, the store has brought in The Operator, a detective puzzle game developed by Bureau 81. As always, you have seven days to add the latest game permanently to your Epic Games Store library. Released in 2024, The Operator comes touting an investigation story that puts you into the shoes of a new hire at the Federal Department of Intelligence (FDI), where you are tasked with analyzing evidence, fact-checking, and solving a streak of mysterious crimes using the agency's advanced investigative software. Everything from murders and missing people to cyberattacks are the sort of crimes you'll be investigating throughout the game, all using the agency's unique software console to dig through evidence and personal data. As the story progresses, a conspiracy also comes through from another hacker that paints the FDI in a different light. Here's how the studio teases the hacker's existence even in the game description: The Operator giveaway on the Epic Games Store is now active, and it will last until June 26. When it's not on sale, the game costs $13.99 to purchase, but PC gamers can add it to their library for no cost during the seven-day timeframe. Another PC game will come in as the next freebie on the same day that this entry expires.
