 ====== Using an Alternate MySQL Database Name ======
-===== VuFind 1.x =====
+In early versions of VuFind®, changing the database name was a complex process; because use of these old versions is no longer encouraged, the documentation has been removed (but can be found in earlier page versions through the "Old revisions" link below).
-Occasionally the default database name of 'vufind' is not appropriate for your environment.  You can specify a different name as part of the install process, but if you decide on a different name after you have already installed VuFind, manually changing the database name used by VuFind is not overly difficult.
+In VuFind® 2.0 and later, you can easily specify a non-default database name using the database setting in [[configuration:files:config.ini]] without needing any other special configuration changes, and this can be set up for you using VuFind®'s web-based installer.
-In this example, we will use the database name of 'LibVufind' instead of the default of 'vufind'.
-  * In the 'Database' section of your [[configuration:files:config.ini]] file change the table name provided on the end of the 'database' string.
-<file>
-  database        = mysql://vufind:mypassword@mysql.example.com/LibVufind
-</file>
-  * In the /vufind/web/conf/ directory rename the file ''vufind.ini'' to match your new Database name, in our example ''LibVufind.ini''
-    * Not renaming the vufind.ini will result in the following error:   //DB_DataObject Error: Unable to load schema for database and table (turn debugging up to 5 for full error message)//
-    * Changing the following line in the configuration file vufind/web/conf/config.ini under the Database section will give you more details.
-<code>
-  debug = 5
-</code>
-===== VuFind 2.x and newer =====
-In VuFind 2.x and later, all this extra work is not necessary.  You can specify a non-default database name using the database setting in [[configuration:files:config.ini]] without needing any other special configuration changes, and this can be set up for you using VuFind's web-based installer.
