Yup, your steps will work, however I think your approach is more risky, because the owner has to completely empty and rebuild all the tables in the database. Great idea, thanks for your comment.

Some guys has reported if they can't change their wp_prefix and always get error message: <em>“Your User which is used to access your Wordpress Tables/Database, hasn’t enough rights (is missing ALTER-right) to alter your Tablestructure.”</em> actually, I had the exact same problem as them, and your method requires many time to do so, why? 'cause i've a bunch plugins which has been installed on my own blog, and of course it using wp_ prefix too, one of these are firestat. but, i am successfully changing the default prefix <em>(wp_)</em> using my own method, see below: 01. backup your wordpress database (i'm using phpmyadmin) to an *.sql file. 02. open that <em>*.sql</em> file (make another copy first) using text editor, then find and replace all <em>"wp_"</em> prefix to <em>"something_"</em>. 03. now, drop all tables of your wordpress databases (don't drop the database :D) 04. import the <em>*.sql</em> file which has been edited before into your wordpress databases. 05. and lastly, edit your <em>wp-config.php</em> file and change the <em>$table_prefix = 'wp_';</em> to <em>$table_prefix = 'something_';</em> 06. in my case, all plugins will be deactivaed automatically, so login to your blog admin panel, then activated your all plugin. 07. done ! ;) yep, it work perfectly for me.. ! ahem, this’s a nice post, but there’s something bugs? and/or problem in wp table prefix changer plugin.

I think it is safer to take the manual approach, because if you have an issue you would know where you stopped at. I think using the plugin is riskier because if for any reason it stopped immaturely, you would not know what you have to clean. Thanks.
