Guys

I need to add my own table to an Umbraco based system.
My question is really about best practice:

Is it OK to add a table to the same database that Umbraco uses?

Or, should I create a separate database for my table?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

One thing to bear in mind is if you intend to use Courier, although I imagine Courier would only look for Umbraco tables. Also, consider if there was a schema change in the Umbraco core. It depends how these would get rolled out. If may be easier to have your custom tables in a separate db so they are unaffected by schema upgrades.
One last thing, if these tables are for generic .net controls it would be easier to keep it separate.
Hope this helps promote thoughts/discussion....
