Can I use the same indexeddb in for two different apps

Question

Hi,

I am using indexeddb for my apps database.  I would like to make a second app which uses the same database but different functionality.  Is it possible?

I know indexeddb has user level access and resides outside the app folder.  But if I try to open the same database from a second project it always creates a new one.

Hi,

I'm affraid you can't. In the specifications it is mentioned that you can only access the databases inside your own domaincontext, and as far I know the domaincontext for every app is different.

Maybe a solution for your problem is the share charm?

greetings,

Hi,

That is impossible. If you want to do that. I suggest you put the database in third party server(for example, sql server). And then access each other.
