Database Manager - What Tables Should Be Blacklisted

Permalink
I am working on a database manager addon that will allow admins to edit any database from their dashboard.

I am trying to think of ways to limit the "riskiness" of such an addon. I am working on an option to "blacklist" (or block) certain databases and tables from being editable.

Are there any tables in particular that should be blacklisted no matter what (this would be hard-coded into the addon)?

I would say 98% of the core tables should not be touched, certain ones, like the IP Ban table you could mess with, but if you put in the wrong value... well, your screwed.

you could also allowed editing of statistics tables,

probably should be a whitelist instead of a blacklist.
