I am currently building an online system (inventory, customers, orders, email marketing, web log analysis). I have a web server and a database server running SQL2000. I think I could put all of these things together in one database but I am not sure of the benefits. Anybody that can help I would really appreciate it...

Put these all in one database so that you can use foreign key constraints to enforce dri.

I would put stuff that is logically related in one db (inventory, customers, orders) and consider putting the rest separately. I personally find it harder to maintain a system when the table and stored procedure count gets up there (>100). Unfortunately, there's no way (outside of good naming) to organize these into folders or other classifications.

My $0.02 only.
