I have just set up MediaWiki 1.9.* on my web server and installed the latest version of SMW. I have followed the appropriate steps, but when I go to Special:SMWAdmin and click the initialisation button, I get the following error: from within function "SMW::setupDatabase". MySQL returned error "1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-_wikidb.`smw_relations` ( subject_id INT(8) UNSIGNED NOT NULL, ' at line 1 (localhost)". As you partially see, my database has the name travvy_info_-_wikidb. That prefix is mandated by my webhost. Is the hyphen causing the problem or is it just a coincidence the problem starts there?
