can two osC's share a single users table?

[h4x0r]

I was wondering what it would take for two separate installs of osCommerce on a single domain to share a single user table, so that users don't have to sign up twice to use both store fronts. I know this seems like an odd question, but it was just something I was wondering about. Also, this is mostly hypothetical, so a resonse like, "Use only one install from the start" or, "Why would you need two installs on a domain?" aren't going to help any. Thanks!

I don't think you can do that since the session ID's are built by the code from each shop and they would be different.

you could use a common database for both stores or perhaps easier you could switch the sessions to be in files and then use a common folder to store sessions for both stores. You still need to do mods though because info from one store (like products) may not exist on the other.

you can just add them to your clients list on your other site with there details then they dont have to sign up they just sign in

Would require a lot of work, but you can use the database user table for both shops and then move all the other tables to a sub-table for each category.
