Would a medium sized (~500 pages) database driven website, search
engine and mailing list be too much for one MySQL database? Instead of
making using different databases I would use different tables. I would
use PHP for all of this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

that will depend on the OS and hardware involved and the number of
anticipated hits. for maybe a few hundred hits a week it might not be
too bad, but if your talking many hits per minute, then you might want
to use something better. MySQL was designed to used in small-ish
environments, but some people seem to push whatever technology to the
edge of the envelope. Try to ensure that your database "doesn't
matter". And by that I mean that you will be able to move it to a more
enterprise-class database engine if need be (I currently do not consider
SQL Server to be "Enterprise " class, although there are those who would
disagree with me :)....

Not according to the mysql documentation, it wouldn't: 'Handles large
databases. We use MySQL Server with databases that contain 50 million
records. We also know of users who use MySQL Server with 60,000 tables
and about 5,000,000,000 rows.'

The OP hasn't even mentioned the rate of potential hits, just the size of
the data. To which the answer is "yes, easily". Access speed is a function
of hardware, table design and the ability of the database drivers to handle
multiple concurrent requests. Any shortcoming of those three will drop you
in it; I don't believe MySQL will be the weak link.
Chances are, if the OP is asking about design questions on Usenet, s/he's
not going to be in charge of a project where hit rate is going to be an
issue. No offence. 8)

Not that having multiple databases would have any material affect on server
load. We are still dealing with the same amount of data regardless of how
you divide it up.
MySQL will quite easily handle this. In any case this could be
considered over-kill. SQLite could even handle this.
