Using digiKam on more than one computer ???

BuckSkin
First let me say that I really appreciate all the help that I get here.

My question is: I have more than one computer --- all are Windows 7; can I copy my extensive album collections and tag trees to our other computers ?

Or better yet, can I associate all of our computers to a single digiKam database such that whatever I do with digiKam on one machine is reflected on the other machines ?

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for responding.

I have done this by pointing installations to same db file and duplicating collections e.g. in Windows its c:\pictures and linux the very folder is /mnt/data/pictures etc.
The proper way would be using mysql instead of sqlite but it's still experimental in dk

Thanks !
I found the digiKam files just where you said; there are three of them; digikam4, recognition, and thumbnails.

How do I duplicate the collections ?
