How to change xoops sql table prefixes?

When I installed XOOPS I omitted to change the sql table prefix from "xoops". I now understand that, security-wise, I should have changed this.

How can I change this now, without re-installing? Is it as simple as
1. Rename the tables
2. Change the constant in mainfile.php

If so, what's the easiest way to do number 1?

Thanks.

If you install xoops protector, which I strongly suggest having on all XOOPS sites as well for added security, there is an option in there to change the table prefix.

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

Do you use Protector with XOOPS 2.2.3?

(I only ask becuase lots of modules don't seem to work with 2.2.3)
