I am playing around with Alpha 4 release. I only have one MySQL database available to me, so I pointed it to that database, but gave it a unique prefix (like g3_). However, the installer complains with:

"The database you provided already has other tables in it. Continuing with the install might overwrite an existing Gallery install. Please go back and choose a different database."

Anyone able to get around this and have it share the database?

Do you have a time machine? I only see Alpha 3 on this date.

If you're brave, you can remove these lines:

    } else if (!installer::db_empty($config)) {
      $content = render("db_not_empty.html.php");

from installer/web.php. Use at your own risk :-)
