I had a communication issue with a developer and he used the default mysql DB that comes wtih mysql...  This is typically a system DB...  Is it okay to place tables in here to use with our application?  Or.. Do we need to go ahead and create a new schema / DB and move the tables?

is it okay to use the default mysql system DB for application tables?

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.
