You can have multiple applications share a DB but if they require each in order to work, probably they should just be one application with different controllers and conditional models. > > 2.

Make sure uri is the same and folder point to one and se same folder where to store .table files. Attention. If they are two separate applications it means each of then must be able to run without the others. This means each of them must have a db.py and must define the tables it needs.
