[Pro] MySQL Database Naming?

I’m trying to get into the habit of using good, easily identifiable file names. How do most of you name your MySQL content management system databases so you can keep track of them? Also, are there any restricted characters?

I try to keep it short but descriptive to its purpose. So if it’s for a CMS it might be a slight variation of the CMS name with a reference to the client. Or if I built an application to process form submissions it might be something in line with that functionality. Use whatever makes sense to your way of thinking.

Look here for more info on characters and such http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql_intro.html.

So could it be something like CMS_client1?

Yes you got the answer but the CMS in their site name has nothing to do with content management systems

Yes, I know. In fact that PDF wasn’t what I thought it was at all. :slight_smile: Anyway, I should just use the naming convention that works for me.
