Hi Simon,
Try using a tool like ESKUEL to perform a full backup/dump of the existing database, then reimport the dump in the new emty database ( with the new name ) ...
I've done it and it works for me ( Mediawiki 1.7.1 ) ...
Best Regards,
Arnaud.

Hi,
I'm not sure if this can be done without breaking the Wiki but is it possible to rename the database that the Wiki is using?
And then put the new name in LocalSettings?
I didn't know that one of my colleagues would need to use a database with the same name I used for the Wiki.
Is it possible to switch database?
Thanks! Simon _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
