I still remember a few mistakes we had that led to some store items popping up in a completely different store's offerings!

I remember when WebCat (now WebDNA) only had 1 database and we had to use it for a number of sites that were also multi-lingual (mostly English and Japanese). We used a series of unique keys in two of the database fields to call the site and language we wanted to search. The only limit to that setup was RAM (again for nostalgia....that was only about 64MB of RAM on the little MAC we were using as a server). Hey Olin....I know YOU remember those days well....
