Hello all,
I recently inherited a D7 site and in the discovery process found a slew of database tables with a "dr_" prefix. They seem redundant and I'm inclined to whack them during the clean up process, but am hesitant because I don't know what the hell they are. I thought it was Backup and Migrate or Features, but it doesn't seem to be.
I've done a bit of research, but cannot, for the life of me, figure out where these entries come from. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Hi Al,
Read the Readme file in the root directory, about prefixes. When you set up a database you have a choice of using the prefix or not. Apparently your predecessor had a reason to do this, maybe to make a distinction between two different sites using the same database.
The prefix does no harm, don't get rid of them or it will cause you a lot of pain.

Hello all,
Just for your information, I am using _prefix for multisites. And how to set up multisites by Drupal 7, please check next URL.
Multisite - Sharing the same code base https://drupal.org/documentation/install/multi-site
