I have very limited knowlege in dealing with SQL so bare with me.
I have just installed a forum for a website (a local football team). Everything is running well now. The SQL is hosted by my ISP.
Im considering installing a second forum with the same host (all under the same username) etc since i get a good deal with plusnet.
Plusnet like all their php to be in a different directory to the website ccgi.username.force9.co.uk
My current forum for the football team is ccgi.username.force9.co.uk/phpbb
If i install the new forum within a new folder to ccgi.force9.co.uk/newsite is it likely to mess up the SQL database or should it manage having the two forums in different subfolders?

Do you not get the option of the database name when installing?
If the first sites database is called 'football', and the second 'corsa' they will work together fine as technically they are completely seperate

you can choose the starting prefix of the database, so you 'can' use the same databse, just change the prefix during setup (from phpbb_ to something like newsite_ )
although it would be better if they did allow you to have more than one sql database

create a new database if you can, you can alter paths and database names in config.php

Either create another database or prefix the table names with something unique to each site.
Location of the web pages is a different matter. So long as the right pages look at the right tables you will be fine.
