Description

I installed a brand new Tiki24 from : 6188b548 · REL Closing 24.0 beta release · 16 hours ago
During the installation I set the name of my database as follow "bernardsfez_tiki24Debug"
In result I had the following error:

I changed for "bernardsfez_tiki24debug" and it worked.

It is not stated in the online tooltip or in the installation that the database name MUST be lowercases only.

Solution

If:
It is not allowed to use uppercase for the database name it should be stated and clearly visible to improve the UX.
And
The error displayed should give proper information (like user lowercases only)

Else... it should be possible to use uppercase.
