Description Jan Steinman 2004-09-29 19:34:25 UTC 
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.
Comment 1 Domas Mituzas 2004-09-29 19:37:58 UTC 
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.
Comment 2 Jan Steinman 2004-09-29 20:15:53 UTC 
Okay, I'll continue to experiment with 1.3.4 until 1.4 comes out. If you need any help, sign me up.
