Not possible to use dots in databasename #34

Closed denvers closed 10 years ago

denvers commented 10 years ago

Seems it's not possible to use a database name containing a dot.

wesleytodd commented 10 years ago

That is correct. MySQL does not allow this. See here for more details: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/identifiers.html

Though dots are permitted from MySQL 5.5 >

See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/identifiers.html And see "proof": https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6723035/Images/mysql-dot-names.png

Looks right! Sorry for citing outdated docs. So what is stopping you from using dots? Is yeopress failing at some point? There shouldn't be a problem with using dots in your db name if MySQL allows it.

It says: "Database does not exist, or the credentials are wrong!"

That is more of a warning. Also, if the vagrant option is selected I believe that it it will show because it cannot access the database. Maybe if I change the color to yellow so that it is clearly not an error?

I have actually thought about removing that completely, or making it an advanced configuration option. But I haven't gotten to that yet.

I have made some changes in the develop branch that make this more of a warning message. If you feel like running that version you can clone the repo, check out the develop branch and run $ npm link in the root of the project. This is like installing the package globally, so you will override the normal global install. But the develop branch is stable at the moment so it shouldn't be a problem.
