That will work, but would be a better idea to have one Database with 3
tables for one site, and another database with 2 more tables for the other
site. If you have not acces to create databases then I think you will have
to create all your tables within a single Database. If that is your case, to
avoid confusion, you might want to name your tables like this:
site1_tablename1, site1_tablename2, site1_tablename3 ... site2_tablename1,
site2_tablename2, etc etc...

It is possible to administrate a mysql database from a browser with
phpMyAdmin, (http://phpwizard.net) its very easy to manage databases with
this graphical tool.
