Installer support for database field prefixes
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: Jan

Description:
I want to install MeidaWiki for a number of websites on the same server. For security and
convenience, each of these websites have their own MySQL database, each with a number of tables.

This leads to (at best) confusion over which table belongs to whom or (at worst) namespace
collisions. (Near miss: each of these databases already has an "images" table; you have an "image"
table.)

Wouldn't it be nice to have a configurable prefix for table names? (Default perhaps "wg_". What
does that stand for, anyway?)

I would be willing to implement this. I'm a long-time professional software engineer, but have not
worked in a sourceforge team before, so would need some help getting started.

it is already supported through whole code. just the installer misses
functionality. you may edit db dumps yourself and have this ;-) 1.4 release will
have this working, I hope.
