MySQL question

My web hosting gives me a few databases, they're currently in use. I don't know much about DB's, and I think I know the answer to this, but I'm going to ask any ways just incase. If I was to install something that required a DB would it be bad to point it to one of the ones I'm already using? I'm sure this isn't optimum but if it would get the job done without causing problems with the other program I guess it's better than nothing.
 
It could just possibly work if neither of the apps uses an object name the other is using, but unless you know that then it's dicey. You could have an install script drop tables or sprocs that you need for the other app, for example.
 
A lot of the newer web apps (read: word press) have a table/object prefix, that will attempt to stop using duplicates.

ie:
'wp_*' = WordPress
 
ka0t1x thanks, WP is exactly what I was going to be installing. Perhaps I'll give it a shot and see what happens. If I screw something up it won't be the first time 🙂
