 * I always make a point of changing the default wp_ prefix on new installs for 
   better security and this one time I forgot. D’oh. I was about to do it manually
   using a text editor and phpMyAdmin and thought, ‘gee, i wonder if there’s a plugin
   that could make quick work of this’? I saw Delicious Brains associated with this
   plugin and since I use their awesome Better Search Replace plugin a fair bit,
   I decided to give it a whirl. Holy crap – what a huge time saver! One click and
   done (I ran backups first). I checked my wp-config file and the db and everything
   looks ship-shape. Awesome little plugin. Thanks for sharing! Highly recommended–
   but back up first!
