Multiple callsigns in a shared database

We have 3 computers running with a shared database.
We want to include another callsign using the shared database.
When I configure the new call sign on one computer, will it be possible to select this callsign on the other computers as well?

Yes indeed just ensure the user config is the same on all

Hello Terry,
I used the clone function for the other callsign.
Changed the callsign in the Description and made a desktop link.
Then save and apply.
Sofar it works, however when I go to the Recent QSO’s I see the same QSO’s worked with the original callsign.
I thought it will also generate a new database just for the new callsign seperately from the other callsign log?
Is there anything I have to change as well?
I am using a MYQSL database.
Besides now I get a backlog file every time I close the program, while the backup function is off.
How to cancel this action?

Ahh,
The backup file is only generated when I use the desktop link.
When I start the program as usually, this backup file is not generated.

you could set a filter in recent QSO's to only list the station call sign of interest
Alternatively multiple databases

Terry,
Thanks for the quick answer.
I have asked for another MYSQL database, so we split those QSO more easily.
