that and the ability to change it in the GUI after the site has been created.

my workflow is this:

  1. create wordpress install in local (default local install)
  2. copy wp-content folder from live site to local site
  3. copy database from live to local
  4. change wp-config to use live site DB prefix

in step 3 when import the database only 1 in 5 cases would be wp_ prefix.

I managed to change the table prefix on a fresh install by using this wp cli tool from github. GitHub - iandunn/wp-cli-rename-db-prefix: A WP-CLI command to rename WordPress' database prefix
I then saved it as a blueprint for future local WordPress sites
