Does table prefix have to end in an underscore?

Hello folks,

I’ve been developing sites locally using WAMP and wanted to create a duplicate of a site I’m currently working on so I can test various plugins without cluttering up the database on the main site.

I had a few problems getting a duplicate to work but finally solved the issue. In the course of trying different things however, I saw a few references that said the table prefix for WordPress tables should end in an underscore. My current site doesn’t. Although a mix of letters and numbers it only includes an underscore in the middle. Something like kd_6284 The site works without any issues, so I’m not sure why some people say WP table prefixes should end with an underscore?

The only reason I can see is that it makes the tables a little easier to read. Is there any other reason though?

Hope someone can advise.
