Body: <p>I just succesfully installed CiviCRM on our website (WordPress), I created a new DB but was not given the option to specify it during the installation process.  It seems to have installed in a DB that was already there xxxxx_demodb in which I can now see all the civicrm_xxxx tables, along with a handful of tables that look like they belong to WordPress, listed here:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>wp_commentmeta, wp_comments, wp_links, wp_options, wp_postmeta, wp_posts,
  wp_termmeta, wp_terms, wp_term_relationships, wp_term_taxonomy,
  wp_usermeta, wp_users.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Can somenoe pls confirm if these are WP or CiviCRMtables, and/or advise on how I can move the tables into a new DB and what config/ini things will need to be updated to make this work.</p>
  
  <p>Or just create a whole (or use the empty one I already created) new fresh standalone DB, I have only made minor changes to the settings that I can just redo...</p>
  
  <p>Thanks, Joe.</p>
