Although the Nova database and its tables will work right out of the box after importing, as an extra security measure, Nova includes custom prefix support, specified within the config file. The default prefix is set to nova_, but can be changed by updating the DB_PREFIX constant within includes/config.php and doing a find and replace in database.sql before importing.
With most instances of Nova using the prefix of nova_, it may be easier for attackers to find and wreak havoc on your database, if they are aware of this default prefix. Setting a custom prefix makes it more difficult to locate and identify Nova tables in your database.
