Plus points :
+ If you need to join between tables you will *need* to do this
Minus points :
- You will need to make sure tables for application aa and bb don't have the
same name (so aa_contacts and bb_contacts)
- Security: make sure each application runs as a different user and only has
access to the tables is is supposed to.
- It is harder to back up individual applications' data
