Unless the database schema is shared by the different customers, I'd
set up a separate database for each. There's better security with
separate databases, and since different customer's data would never
be combined, there's no advantage to putting them in the same one.
Per database overhead is probably going to be negligible compared to
the infrastructure you'd want to put in place for security.
