dot isn't allowed in database names

[n1trux]

I tried to install owncloud 8.1 on my Debian host, but apparently it doesn't support dots in database names. Dots in usernames are fine.

Doesn't work: oc.user@oc.database (error: "Please match the requested format.")

Does work: oc.user@ocdatabase

It would be nice if you could fix this :)

Not quite sure but it seems its strongly discouraged to use dots in database names according to:

full ack + its only possible in MySQL >= 5.1.6
that's why 👎 for the idea of allowing dots or other funny characters in database/table names

Provide mechanism, not policy. Let user decide on his own. If error happens, you convey it to him.

5.1.6 was released on 8 Feb 2006. Are you serious? Do you otherwise support such outdated web servers?

Is there any validation code in OC that prevents using dots ?

@n1trux would be good to know what you mean with "isn't allowed". Is there an error message displayed ? Anything in the logs ?

Closing due to lack of feedback. If there is requirement for this, feel free to submit a PR to fix it.
