Change Koha Database Name
The Koha installation on my new server named the database koha_koha. I would like to change the database name to koha which I can do easily in mysql but I want to know what I would have to do in the koha program to recognize the new database? I'm just trying to save myself hours looking for the solution, so if anyone has done this and knows the answer please let me know. Thanks. Phillip

The database settings - dbname, host, userid and password are handled out of your Koha instance's koha-conf.xml. Look out for <db_scheme> in the file. You need to update the relevant settings there. hope this helps, -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

Thanks so much as I was already into the third hour googling for the solution. This will help a lot.
