16762	wpdb::$base_prefix is not documented	hakre		"Probably wpdb::$base_prefix has been merged into from MU and not further specified then.

It ''genereally'' can be replaced with {{{wpdb::get_blog_prefix(0)}}} when the MULTISITE constant is defined. That is are after wp-settings.php has been included (wp-config.php, wp-load.php), even on SHORTINIT.

It ''might'' be that this function call does not cover all cases needed because if MULTISITE is not defined when called, it will not return the {{{wpdb::$base_prefix}}}.

More insight into MU is needed, feedback appreceated. Some places look like that they are not aware of the wpdb::get_blog_prefix() function. Probably legacy MU code.
