When selecting a database name, choose a name that describes the system and that will make clear the purpose of the database. There are a few rules for creating an Odoo database:
- Your database name cannot contain spaces and must start with a number or letter
- Also, you will need to avoid commas, periods, and quotes
- Underscores and hyphens are allowed if they are not the first character in the name
It can also be a good idea to specify in the name whether the database is for development, testing, or production purposes.
For the purposes of our real-world case study, we will use the database name as SILKWORM-DEV.
We have chosen the -DEV suffix, as we consider this a development database that will not be used for production ...
