Question on database deployment

Hi,

In the database section of the installation guide it says that "database
sharing" is unsupported. Can someone clarify what is meant by this? Does it
mean that a dedicated instance of the RDBMS (postgres in my case) must be
running solely for the use of foreman? Or simply that a dedicated database
must be created and set aside for foreman within a (potentially) multi-user
RDBMS instance?

The motivation here is I have a postgres HA database cluster and I would
like foreman to make use of it.

Thanks,

Alan

The latter - a dedicated database within a multi-user instance is fine.

The phrasing may have come from when Foreman and Puppet's storeconfigs
feature had compatible schema and could share a single database. This is
no longer the case.
