Yes, it is. I just kept the same database in my situation. As long as you have a "pp_" prefix on the tables, there shouldn't be any problems using the same database. Omegatran knows much more than I do, but unless a forum is absolutely huge (5,000+ members who are active), keeping the same database for both PhotoPost and phpbb2 shouldn't be a problem, and should actually be quicker running since you don't have two different databases continually running.

Of course, I should warn you, this is just my experience, so your particular forums may need a separate database. In my case, I have only 80 members currently, but expect it to grow significantly since the addition of an image gallery and hosting option.
