Same database for more websites

Question

I want to make 6 websites with different domeinnames (but
under the same host) with the same database (MySQL), so that I just
have to update the 1 database and all 6 websites will be updated.
But how do I do this? When I use one database login as
Connection for a website which isn't its database .. then I get the
message "Can't connect to MySQL server". So when I cannot use the
same database because I cannot connect to it, can I send datas to 6
different databases or is there a more easy way?
Thanks a lot for helping me out :)

This is a security policy that will have been set up by your
hosting
company. It's quite sensible when you think about it, because
you
wouldn't want other users of the same server to have access
to any of
your databases.
The simplest solution - as long as your hosting company
agrees to do it
- would be to ask the server administrator to create a master
user
account that has access to a single database from all six
domains.
