Question On Wordpress Database

No I had an original basic html page installed and I decided later to switch to wordpress. The site is a review site and I had already created the basic html template and installed it. I did not need a database for that the only thing I needed a database for was to install the blog section to run wordpress. It is not so much as the host not letting me install wordpress. It does not allow installing wordpress in a directory that already contains files. You pretty much answered my question though. So I just need to do a few things different then I was going to.

For instance I am still going to use the same db but I need to add an extention on that db inorder for it to work properly. So the problem is solved and I just need to modify the config that they installed and add an extension to the already exsisting db. I was just hoping I would not have to modify something that I had already started. Looks like there is no way around it though. Which is not a big deal since there wasn't really much on the site yet. But I did get the files for wordpress on the main section and have started building that with the wicked review theme and later today after I go out hunting for a little bit to let off some steam I will redo the blog section and chose a theme that will work well with the current installed theme and the site will be up and running.

Sorry it really wasnt too clear it has been a long day trying to get this site up and running waiting for some traffic. That and little cotton tails on the mind hasn't helped much. Any how I got it all figured out and will be getting things up and running fully in the next few hours. Thanks for your input.

If you would read the post you would see this is not my problem. I am simply asking if I can use the exact same data base to run both my review section and article section. There for being able to install wp on a directory after deleting it is not the problem. I have it all figured out and have begun work on this site.

Now here is the only reason why I asked. First the review site theme I am using has to have its own database because I need to add several post directly for specific niche I am targeting. So since these will be constituted as post just like blogs it has to have a database. The article section also needs a database because this will be the main focal point to gaining content to the site. This will help both increase traffic and content to the main site. Now this also has to have a database because it is also wordpress based.

As I stated in the original post I was hoping I wouldnt have to create an extension to the database so that these 2 sections can run with each other. Now I wanted to use the exact same database and not create another section with in the database since I had already installed wp and created the data base. So I just need to delete the config file out of the originally installed wordpress section and have it point to the new database extension instead of trying to force it to use the exact same database.

It was a database question and had nothing to do with installing wordpress. I have ways around my host not installing things to locations that it says it is already installed. I went though this earlier this year when one of my blogs got hashed and there was not way to fix it. So I had to completely delete everything and reinstall everything. However I was un able to save the database for that site so I had to create a new one. I was able to pull some of the info out of the original db so I did not lose everything. Either way if you would read the question you would see that I wanted to know about the database and not installing wordpress.
