 * Ok, I would like to change the table prefix with this plugin, however I am very
   scared to do so as my database is 180mb in size. Is there really any large danger
   especially if I run a db dump before hand?

 * Hello, Matt!
 * With large databases come risks when trying to alter its structure, especially
   if it’s under heavy use.
 * We strongly recommend you to make a backup before using the plug-in’s “change
   database prefix” feature, so if anything goes bad you should have at least a 
   valid working copy of your database.
 * Cheers!
