OK so I'm vainly struggling to create some DB's in MySQL
Get the stock error messages every time about length and characters in database name, login etc.
I'm complying with these rules, and clearly there is some other problem.
I think it must be the unique-name-on-server issue, but that seems amazing as I've tried mydomainname_DBname variations and still get the same error, and I can't believe some other user has hijacked my domainname as a prefix for their DB.
To confirm that if I make up some crazy name ;ole profanitypowwebprofanity for the DB and logins it succeeds.
1. Any suggestions about what the REAL rules and errors are for creating database names & logins?
2. On another Powweb acct I loaded my own copy of MySQLAdmin and had better functionality - would that help seeing the real error messages & source of the problem?
3. Any chance Powweb will get off their profanity and get the DB management tool to return some actual useful messages rather than telling you "Database names have to be between 2-32 characters..." which has NOTHING to do with the problem?
