No database-prefix not possible anymore

Post by Boris »

In 0.7.1 it was possible to create an installation with no database-prefix. The current 0.8beta2 gives me an error "You did not specify a valid value for "Datenbank-Präfix"!" (german version).

Working without the prefix is handy if you have a database only for s9y.

It is now required because we have special table names like 'references' which is a reserved word for postgreSQL. That's why we require a prefix, which is not bad after all. You usually don't have to work with the tables on your own because we're no application framework, so I think the benefits are better than the drawbacks.
