I don't think there is a problem to store them in the same data base. However, I suppose you'd like them to be integrated and have the users to be logged in everywhere by logging in at one place?
I think you should ask about this on IPB support forums (either official or unofficial) as they know the software the best and may help you or even make a modification for this (if there already doesn't exist such).
IIRC, IPB even had a tool/software exactly for integrating IPB board software with other systems. Perhaps you can use that.
