I just have a question before installing Drupal.
I've been reading through this site over the last few days. I really like Drupal's features and also what I see! On the same note, I'll also admit that I'm a new learner when it comes to php and MySQL. I've just used php and MySQL once before and that is with my osCommerce site.
My host allows me only ONE MySQL database. So I plan on using this same database for osCommerce AND Drupal. My only question is when I run the sql queries for the installation of Drupal will it overwrite any of my existing tables?
Finally, is there any sort of web installer for Drupal?
Kindest Regards! :)

i'm new to drupal as well.
i'm new to drupal as well. from what i've seen, there's no web installer, and if you are installing on a database that has other tables, you need to prefix your tables (it's explained in drupal's docs, search for something like 'sql prefix' in the search box)
