Its possible on ours. I've been answering that question from customers for
years. It's even possible if the sites are on different servers, but that
requires the database host server to allow access to the remote host. Easily
done through cpanel or call your host. As long as the script is set up with
the host (localhost or IP) named in the config file and the database user,
and password is what is needed to get access to the database.
