I don't know if this will get something here or if I'm asking too much but
I believe that for the sake of logic, main WP tables should be called
wp_1_*. It doesn't make sense that network tables have the same prefix
than the site with ID = 1.
There are several plugins around that tries to clone or copy subsites.
Their main problem is that if they copy the site ID = 1, they will copy
all network tables. That can produce a huge amount of data.
But apart from those specifical problems, at least for me, the problem is
the logic.
Let's see another approach. Would it be crazy to rename tables in a single
install to be wp_1_*? I know it's a little weird but the network
installation would not need to rename them and you still can return to
single site without any problems.
Anyone want to discuss? Anyone want to close this?
Thanks.
