User defined database name

Hi,

I would like to use user defined database name during installing a site.
Can anyone share the command or steps.

Regards
Mijan

I dont think there is a simple way.
It is generated using hash function

frappe/bench/blob/master/bench/utils.py#L147


      
          	bench.set_frappe_version(bench_path=path)
          	if bench.FRAPPE_VERSION > 5:
          		if not skip_assets:
          			update_node_packages(bench_path=path)
          
          
	set_all_patches_executed(bench_path=path)
          	if not skip_assets:
          		build_assets(bench_path=path)
          
          
	if not skip_redis_config_generation:
          		redis.generate_config(path)
          
          
	if not no_procfile:
          		setup_procfile(path, skip_redis=skip_redis_config_generation)
          	if not no_backups:
          		setup_backups(bench_path=path)
          
          
	copy_patches_txt(path)
          
          

          
def update(pull=False, patch=False, build=False, requirements=False, backup=True, force=False, reset=False,

In the beginning you could do it using --db-name as argument for the create site’s command. Like this:

bench new-site sitename --db-name database_name
and it used to work… then there was a time when it just ignored the database name. I tried it like a week ago and it was working fine again.

Good luck…
