“-” not allowed in config.php DBname?

  • My hosting service created new MySQL databases by appending a hyphen and number to the userame. Examples:
    DB-1: username
    DB-2: username-1
    DB-3: username-2

    In the past, WP has installed fine to the 1st DB. Now I’m trying to install WP 2.5 (as the only WP for this domain) to a database of the 2nd type (username-1) and it can’t connect. I don’t want to use the 1st database, as it’s being used for something else – I realize I COULD, but don’t want to.

    Could it be the “-” in the DB name in my config.php that’s the problem?
    If so, what can I do?

    Thanks All!
