I want to offer phpwiki servicies to mutiple groups (I'm looking around 
gforge wiki plugin). For security reason I have to separate content of 
each instances of PhpWiki. I can have thousand instances of phpwiki so 
it imply ten thousand mysql tables.

I already (successfully) tested database prefix but I think next phpwiki 
updates (with db schema upgrades) will be a little bit complicated.

But it's just "feeling" about possible issues, I don't really have 
examples of "Why I think that it could be a problem?"
