I currently have 2 apps which i would like to share one database.
one app is for authentication the other is the main app.
When I run the app1 it creates the auth tables along with another table
called *base_tags*
when I run app2 I get the following error. (the base_tags table in app1 is
referenced in app2 - same database).
*In App2*
<type 'exceptions.KeyError'> 'base_tags'
Traceback (most recent call last):

*line 433*: Field('tag_id', *db.base_tags*, label='Tag', required=True,
notnull=True, writable=False, readable=False)
)
I am assuming that place_tags isn't seeing db.base_tags (no reference). May
be I don't understand DAL.
1. Isn't DAL an interface to the database?
2. If the database exist why wouldn't I be able to access it from another
app and reference tables that already exist?
3. Should I assume that unless *base_tags* was defined in app2 I cannot
access it?
