Add model_prefix to your INSTALLED_APPS list. Make sure it is the first app in the list

    'model_prefix',
    ...
]

Usage

Global table prefix

The global database table prefix can be configured using the DB_PREFIX setting

DB_PREFIX = "foo_"

Model table prefix

Optionally a model based prefix can also be defined by extending the models meta class

class Meta:
    db_prefix = "bar_"

This can be also used in order to disable the global prefix for a specific model

class Meta:
    db_prefix = None
