How to use global prefix for tables in Laravel 5

Question

New in Laravel. Probably a silly question. I had setup database like this:

\'mysql\' => [
        \'driver\' => \'mysql\',
        \'host\' => env(\         


        

Answer 1

Prefix does not includes underscore (_) by itself. In order to create admin_users You have to use admin_ prefix.
When generating migrations You will get plain table names, without prefixes.

With prefix = 'admin_'; this: Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {<...>}); will result in creation of admin_users table, because Laravel adding Your prefix under the hood by default.

TL;DR

Even though Your scheme displays table name without prefix, Laravel will create it with prefix.
