If the blog and forum use different table prefixes (and they probably do), then splitting the database is easy. Simply do the following:
1. Go to phpMyAdmin, and select the database you want to modify.
2. Click Export.
3. In the export box, select the database tables for the blog (Wordpress usually uses the wp_ suffix). Make sure the SQL radio button is selected.
4. Scroll down and check the "Save as file" checkbox. Give the file a name, select compression type, then click Go.
And that's it. Just repeat the process for the forum tables.
