One Database for Multiple Apps Strategy?

Hi,

I used to program years ago and have taken it back up recently so I'm sorry if this question is very basic. I'm new to Appery and training here with my first App.

I wanted to create multiple apps. Some of my users might download more then one of them. Given many of my users may have a strong interest to use several of these apps which are somewhat related, I was wondering about the following: instead of having the users who download more then one, create multiple login/password accounts, I'd rather they just use one username/password. I'm assuming to do this I'd create one database for the multiple apps so they have the same shared users collection?

Is there any down side to this strategy? Is there anything I should consider in making this decision? Is there any reason why I should consider making one database just for a users collection and other databases, one for each app versus just using one database for all of the apps?

Thanks!

Gabriel
