Multisite Multi Database Plugin.

WordPress multisite uses a single database to store all of the data for all of the sites in the network. This includes posts, pages, comments, users, and other types of content.
One major limitation of WordPress Multisite is that the database tables keep getting longer with more sites being added to the multisite network.
