Database name on Hostgator

New to hosting so apologize in advance. I have a local database called “ARC.” When I create the database on HOSTGATOR, it names everything with my domain name in front of it so ARC becomes mollyshark_arc. When I upload my program which has many references to arc.tablename, is it going to recognize it or do I have to rewrite everything to mollyshark_arc.tablename?

I recommend you not use prefix for your tables, just use tablename.

Hostgator puts in the prefix, but I am hoping I can ignore it. Thanks.
