This plugin was so great, I was using multi-db developed by wpmudev before, but it wasn’t working after php7.
So I moved multi-db to shardb.
I want to say big thanks to the developer and let wordpress users to know that this plugin is still working following environment.
WordPress: 5.1.1
PHP: 7.1.X
MySQL: 8.X

This plugin is not compatible with current version of WordPress.
Error: SharDB must set a database connection for use with escaping.

I moved from wpmudev’s multi-db plugin to this one and it worked right out of the box!

I was having a panic attack when I found out that my hosting company’s “unlimited” databases could only have 1,000 tables max (each) and that my multisite was already up to 400-500 tables in two weeks. I wasn’t sure if I was going to have to move to a different hosting service or how to split the database.
Even in panic attack mode, I was able to install SharDB and convert my single database into 16 databases pretty easily and straight-forwardly (assuming you can log into cpanel, create databases, and follow instructions). I did buy the optional manual from the wpebooks site, and I highly recommend that as well.
I can’t thank you enough for this plugin and the installation manual. This week, I actually had time to split a database, avoid a near-disastrous web database server situation and still go to my regular Yoga classes and my daughter’s soccer game.:)
