It is exactly because of these ancillary applications that I believe we need the prefixes; organizing the tables that belong to DBMail, the tables specific to your GUI, etc, all in the same database is important from a database management perspective. That said, the condideration for 2.1 was that its options should default to whatever hardcoded values were used in 2.0. So if we let 2.0 out the door without prefixes, then 2.1 would need to default to a prefix of "". Configurable prefixes will appear in version 2.1 and will default to "dbmail_" unless otherwise specified (at that point, "" will be a valid option, but probably useless since we're pretty much forcing you into table prefixes right now). Incidentally, there are three more tables which need their prefixes added in the code: acl, subscription and pbsp. They weren't listed in the tables array so I missed them. I'll fix it this evening and make sure that they're listed someplace in the code so that I can avoid the same mistake during 2.1 devel. Aaron --
