Change DB table prefixes for test installation

Can I change the DB table prefix before installation to setup a test installation and leave the production pligg tables untouched ?

you can.

But if you can just create a new database that might be easier.

Just backup everything before you do anything, better to backup then later lose everything :)

Where and when do I have to change it?
Before I enter DB name, DB user name and password ?

My provider offers me a nearly unlimited number of tables but just one database. That´s why I´m asking.

1. backup all the tables in the db.
2. put pligg code in /test
3. run installation using different prefix.
4. check if production works. if the production tables were deleted import them from backup.
