Share WordPress Database

Does the WordPress installation has to use an exclusive database?

If there are no table name conflicts, WordPress can share a database. Preventing conflicts is just a matter of setting a database prefix on install. By default, that prefix is wp_ but you can change it to anything you want within reasonable character limits. It should be no problem.
