No, Metastorage generates different schema definitions for each
component, but you can configure the schema installation classes to
install all component schemas in the same database.

I am not sure what you mean. If you have a large application, it is
better to make it modular, so each module can run without code from most
other modules.

If you define different components for each module, most of the time you
only need to load the generated code for the components used in each module.
