Solution

  • You can have OpenCart and other application's tables in the same database.

    The OpenCart Step 3 has "prefix". This sets the prefix of the table names to eliminate conflicts with other applications in the same database.

    A better way is put your mobile app in its own database.

    The mobile app can access OpenCart by prefixing the table names in SQL by the opencart database. For example:

    SELECT user FROM opencartdb.oc_users
