I didn't realize that.  I assume that you don't mean some system tables
as they could, I am sure, be special cased.  Can you expand?  I once
had a situation where a table in one database was trashed by being filled
with data from another table of the same name in another database.  Was
I bitten by this feature somehow?  At the same time I like the idea of
sharing tables.  It would be perfect for things like time zone and
province/state tables.
