Hi @manjujidagi , You are true about database can have - in the name . You can add special character to the database name. But in most database management systems it is recommended to avoid such special character in database name.

manjujidagi commented 3 months ago

Yes @ManulMax, but until that is allowed by DB providers, the application should allow it ( may be with a warning )

Exactly the same Problem here... Big Hoster like HostEurope are forcing those "-" in database names... so I can't install this project on my webhost...
