Hi,

I'd like to take a full advantage of built-in membership services and use
aspnetdb's UserId in my app's database. For example, I'd like to establish
some relationships between membership users from aspnetdb and rows in tables
in my database. My app would be responsible for enforcing the
cross-database 'referential integrity'. Does this sound as a
good/acceptable practice?

Thanks,
Bogdan

Yes. No.

If you want a shared membership, then your scenario is fine. If you are
donig this for a single app, run the membership script against the database
for your app and then you can actually add referential integrity to the
ASP.NET tables.
