My suggestions: "You can set prefixes" into "You can optionally set prefixes" "If a prefix is specified, its value will be prepended with this string." into "If a prefix is specified, the table name will be prepended with its value." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 26, 2005 - 05:32 : Morbus Iff #1 tis mine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 26, 2005 - 18:43 : Chris Johnson danielc: please re-roll your patch with the changes suggested by Morbus Iff. Looks good. Let's make it even better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 29, 2005 - 00:08 : danielc Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/settings2.diff (2.51 KB) Here's the revised patch... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 3, 2005 - 14:53 : Dries Can we choose more meaningful prefix examples than dl_ and d_share? What does dl_ stand for? Otherwise, this patch looks good. Maybe using 'master_' and 'shared_'? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 3, 2005 - 20:26 : danielc I used "d1" as short for "drupal site number 1." It seems "master" and "shared" are also ambiguous because they don't indicate anything to do with Drupal and if one is making many sites, "master" doesn't indicate which site it's for. So, how about "drupal_site_1_" and "drupal_shared_"?
