Hi @ all!
I only had a quick glance on ejabberd, but I'm very pleased.
I'd like to implement it in our system, but I have a problem:
We would need to serve several virtual domains, but each with only few accounts.
All I found here in the forum is that I would need one database for each (virtual) domain.
Is that correct so far or is there any chance to concentrate those virtual domains in one database?
Furthermore, is there a posibility to prefix the database-tables to include them into our main services-configuration-database?
Again my searches only resulted in a "no chance".
Thank you for your contributions and best regards
Sebastian
With Mnesia don't worry about DB
We would need to serve several virtual domains, but each with only few accounts.
Serving serveral vhosts with ejabberd isn't a problem, as long as you don't mean thousands of vhosts :)

Is that correct so far or
ejabberd uses by default the internal database Mnesia. Optionally, you can use MySQL, PgSQL, ... databases to store some of the content (authentication, rosters, vcards, pubsub...).
If you use the default Mnesia, you don't need to worry about DB configuration at all.
If you run a large server with many many accounts, big rosters, ... then you better use some SQL database instead of Mnesia. And it's in that case when you also have to use a different database for each vhost.
is there any chance to concentrate those virtual domains in one database?
Not implemented in ejabberd. You can look at this recently proposed patch:
Furthermore, is there a posibility to prefix the database-tables to include them into our main services-configuration-database?
No: neither implemented in ejabberd, and not patch that I know.
