DataBase names

[igpwdx10]

I'm having troubles trying to install one of softaculous app because you doesn't allow us to choose the real name of our databases, so since this app doesn't allow "_" in DB's names, we can not use it. It only allows alphanumeric characters. So Why you doesn't allow us to choose the full name of our DB? I guess you have one DB manager and you create 2 DB for every user and trying to avoid that the users use the same name for 2 DB, you use this kind of names. But this is not good. You should use a DB manager for every user and let us to choose the DB names (We have already been limited to use only 2 DB). But I know you're not going to do that so I ask you that you change the prefix "?????_" for a number, from "0000000" to "99999999" so we can use every kind of app that only allows slphanumeric characters.

Hello igpwdx10,

We use cPanel, which automatically applies these prefixes to every MySQL database. These prefixes are standard for every cPanel account and they cannot be changed. MySQL allows there to be underscores _ in database names, so this is nothing out of the ordinary.

When you are installing your software through Softaculous, it automatically creates the database for you. As far as I am aware, you don't have to create the MySQL database beforehand. You do not have to include a prefix on the Database Name field.

So, if I was setting up software with Softaculous and I wanted the database to be deadi_MySite, I would type "MySite" into the Database Name textbox.

Thank you,
