is there any way to obtain the table prefix after connect to the database ?

I'm using wordpress and I need to obtain the table prefix but outside the whole wordpress installation. Currently my script connect to the database, but I need the table prefix to incorporate in some parts of the script.

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance
