If the other app, works with prefixes, that would be fine...

CMSMS works that way, making it possible to have multiple installs using the same database...

This is no problem. At a certain point (if your other application using the DB is very DB intensive) you may experience a slowdown. You can define a table prefix (there is one by default) - this way, all CMSMS Tables will have a unique name in your DB and you should be fine.

Additionally, you should check how much space is left in your DB when you are on a shared webhost.

Hope this helps

Usually an ISP should give you more than one database, unless it is free hosting, but that should work fine.
