Yes,
I agree with Attila. Anyway, if you want to have two apps access the
same database there are two good reasons to redefine the modes: 1)
they may see different tables of one database, different fields for
the same tables, and/or have different requirements for those fields;
2) each of the two apps should be able to run without the other app.
If 2) is not fullfilled, then they are not two apps.
