Database name


Recommended Posts

Hi I am trying to install a script, to run it i need to create a database with a specific name, but my web hosting only provides me with random generated database names that i cant change.

 

Is there a possibility that I can replace the database name on the script with a random generated database name, if yes, how can I do it?

 

thank you.

no you can't do that. the only way to "change" a database name is to export all of your data, drop that database, name a new one with the name you want, and import the data. Why can't you just use the one that they gave you?

 

If you want to make your own names you would have to find a company that gives you full control over your MySQL.
