No it's not. It's about being able to use a single db for multiple 
app's. Either I do something like that, or I have to [hardcode] change 
schemas after each connection because I only have a single db & a single 
db user.. which postgres/oracle[I'm sure others] support but not mysql.

Shared hosts don't give you a lot of resources, so apps build stuff like 
that in to make it easier.
