 * I noticed that the table prefix of Directory & Classifieds plugin is always the
   same (wp_) and not as the one of the installed wordpress. So in a database with
   multiple wordpress installations only one Directory & Classifieds plugin can 
   be used.

 * I’m not sure how this would work in a database with multiple wordpress installations,
   but the prefix of D&C tables is wp_w2dc_

 * By deault the in the wordpress the predix is wp_, but it can be different if 
   installing the wordpress we set another, for examle: mywp_. In this case if I
   install Directory & Classifieds plugin, the prefix of the tables of this plugin
   remain wp_ and not is mywp_ (wp_w2dc_ and not mywp_w2dc_).

 * OK. If I install a wordpress for example with mywp_ table_prefix and then I install
   your plugin, the prefix of the tables of your plugin will be wp_ and not mywp_.
   I expected that if the wordpress prefix is mywp_ then the prefix of all the tables
   of your plugin have the same. In the above example:
 * mywp_w2dc_content_fields
    mywp_w2dc_levels mywp_w2dc_levels_relationships mywp_w2dc_locations_levels
   mywp_w2dc_locations_relationships
 * Thanks

 * So there isn’t any real problem, you just do not like the prefix of database 
   tables. It’s ok.
