You input it in your config.php file:
// ****** TABLE PREFIX ******
// Prefix that your vBulletin tables have in the database.
$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = '';

Don't mean to bump an old thread but this is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm installing a add-on that wants to know the DB-prefix in order to install, but in my config.php file like the example code posted there is none. What are the repercussions of just adding in something like "vb_"

Will this harm or screw up anything with the forums?

If there is no prefix in your config.php file, why would you then want to assume it is "vb_"? Just use no prefix (if the table is called "attachments" then call it "attachments", not "vb_attachments"). As for what will happen if you use a prefix and there is no table with that name (like "vb_attachments"), you'll get a database error "No table called whatever.vb_attachments" (or however it is worded).

If there's no prefix, don't add one. You'll just get Database Error's everywhere on the page(s) you try to access.

DO NOT 'just add a prefix' your entire forum will be inoperable because no tables will have the correct name. If your prefix is blank in config.php that is fine/ok, many people don't bother with them.

Thanks for all the replies, at least there's a forum somewhere where questions get answered.
