I'm gradually moving up in the world of hosting from shared accounts with no shell access to (now) a VPS host with full control.
I would like to ask the philosophical question of whether using a table prefix like "mw_" is of any use later? I have pretty much full control of my box, can have as many MySQL databases as I like (including dev, test and live ones).
It would seem to me that having completely separate databases (as opposed to differently named tables) is the way to go for me but can anyone help out with practical experience. Up to now I've used a prefix of mw_ and I could continue with that or just stop.
