When adding store views to Magento it creates rather large tables because it adds an entry for each storeview * each product in the following tables:
core_url_rewrite
catalog_product_index_eav_idx
catalog_product_index_eav
catalog_category_product_index
catalogsearch_fulltext
But what if in the setup that i'm using this data will be identical across all store views, is there a way to stop Magento from creating all these tables?
The only thing we want is to have a different {base_url} for each storeview, the catalog will be the EXACT same across all storeviews.
What I'm asking in other words is: can we create a module to create new store views that only have the functionality of assigning a base_url to a store view without all the index and catalog tables that get added
