Question Clear my misunderstanding: 1 MySQL database for many programs?

Hello there,

I been using CPanel for more than two years and I need to know something about MySQL.
I frequently use PHP and MySQL to install softwares for websites. My webhost offered 10 MySQL databases for my use.

So far, I have used up all 10 databases to install 10 programs (Wordpress, Invision Board, gallery scripts, and etc.).

I recently found out that I can install two programs using only 1 database! I can use the same database name and password and only alter the table name.



My question to you: Can I use only 1 MySQL database to install 3 different programs under one domain?
i.e. programmingtalk.com, programmingtalk.com/forums/ (vBulletin), programmingtalk.com/blog/ (Wordpress), and programmingtalk.com/books/ (some script) with 1 MySQL database


Thank you in advance.
