They can use the same database, just not the same tables

I believe,, and someone correct me if I am wrong,, if your original install made the default jos_ prefix then your second site could be something like jos1_ and yet another jos2_ etc etc
correct??

- There is an option for tables, you may have to select a dropdown to reveal the table prefix section.

Isn't it that if you create a new site users go to jos_users (or something)? So if you create a new site with jos1_ it will be jos1_users. Your users will have to be moved or have to register again. Am I right?
What I am looking at the moment is this component: http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,2510/Itemid,35/
