Re: SQL tables without tiki_ prefix?!
There are several database tables that Tiki uses that do not have the tiki_ prefix. If you've already deleted these tables (without a backup) I don't think it is possible to recover the data. You can re-run the installation script (tiki-install.php) to re-create the database tables.
