========= Shared DB settings
Shared database for multiple wikis. Presently used for storing a user table for single sign-on. The server for this database must be the same as for the main database.
Make sure that the database user you set in $wgDBuser has read-access to that database. It might be sufficient to grant read-access to the user table only.
EXPERIMENTAL! ==========
I was hoping that I might be able to apply this to the main database as well as the user database so people can access the same data through different language wikis.

Has anyone tried sharing DBs on 1.5b yet?
I installed separate wikis in French, German and English and linked them to the same DB on a test server yesterday, but it only worked for a few minutes - but I think cookies and/or caching caught up with me and made it 100% German - even for new machines visiting the pages for the first time.
What's "sharing DBs" mean?
