Databases: Wanted: A prefix for tables

Databases: Wanted: A prefix for tables

For anyone just like me, who runs Moodle on only one database with other tables (as my ISP will not allow more without additional fees), one easy change to Moodle could increase reliability: a (by preference choosen) prefix added to the tables would increase readability and other things. Just putting e.g. "moodle_user" (or any other prefix) instead of "user" could ease things up... rgds! /Set Lonnert

There is also a hack to force-install into an existing database. See forcetables.php in your admin directory.
