WordPress

When creating multiple wp projects is it best practice to use the same MySQL hosting database for all of them?

For example in the "setting up the environment" video we create a database called 'localwp' and associate a user account and password with it for our personal instance of the wp installation. But for future/new installations and separate projects for clients would you create a new database for each new project or would you simply use the same database to host multiple wp installs?

You should create new database for every wordpress install. It does not really work if you try to use same database for multiple wordpress websites.
