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

    • "prepare for mandatory Windows 11 upgrade" This is apparently some new use of the word "mandatory" with which until now I was not acquainted. What's the consequence for non-compliance? Microsoft whining incessantly at you? Trump will levy a tariff on you? Oh wait, that's what they're doing now.

    • Adobe releases all-new Photoshop app for Android devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Early this year, Adobe released an all-new Photoshop app for iOS devices. Designed from the ground up for smartphones, the app allows users to easily add, remove, adjust, and combine content, as well as access free Adobe Stock assets to create new visuals. Today, Adobe announced a similar, brand-new Photoshop app for Android devices, currently in beta. It’s important to note that this Android version is not intended to replace the desktop version of Photoshop. Instead, it offers access to select powerful Photoshop features—including layering, masking, and the new Generative Fill—within an easy-to-use mobile interface. During the beta phase, the following features are available to all users: Following the beta phase, users will need a new Photoshop Mobile & Web plan to access the premium features. The premium features list includes the ability to remove objects by brushing over them with the Remove Tool, the ability to use Clone Stamp to hide unwanted objects by cloning areas of an image, the ability to fill portions of an image with content sampled from other parts of the image with Content-Aware Fill, the ability to export using additional file formats (PSD, TIF, JPG, PNG), and more. You can download the Adobe Photoshop app from the Google Play Store if your device is running Android 11 or later and has at least 6GB of RAM (8GB or more is recommended for optimal performance).
