Verify split databases
After configuration, the master databases are configured as follows:
- Main magento database: 369 tables
- Magento quote database: 11 tables
- Magento sales database: 55 tables
To verify your split databases are working properly, perform the following tasks and verify that data is added to the database tables using a database tool like phpmyadmin:
| What to verify | How to verify |
|---|---|
| quote database is working | Add items to a cart. Verify that rows have been added to your quote database's quote, quote_address, and quote_item tables. |
| sales database is working | Complete an order (any payment method, including check/money order). Verify that rows have been added to your sales database's sales_order_address, sales_order_item, and sales_order_payment tables. |
You must back up the two additional database instances manually. Magento backs up only the main database instance. The magento setup:backup --db command and Magento Admin options do not back up the additional tables.
