This guide explains the purpose of the "MySQL Prefix" option in a site's settings and its implications for the operation of your Web applications (CMS) and PHP scripts.
Preamble
- When the "MySQL Prefix" option is enabled for a site, it is no longer necessary to add the prefix "
wxyz_
" before the name and users of your MySQL databases. - A PHP script will thus be able to connect to MySQL with the user "monuser" and a database "mabase," and access will automatically be performed with the user "wxyz_monuser" and the database "wxyz_mabase".
- ⚠ If you are migrating from an older Infomaniak offer:
- After migrating a site from the old console, the "MySQL Prefix" option is enabled by default to automatically maintain the connection of your Web applications (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, etc.) and PHP scripts with your MySQL databases.
- To ensure the proper functioning of your sites in the event of a migration of your hosting to another server, it is strongly recommended to disable this function and make the necessary adjustments.

This guide concerns you if you have received a rescheduling payment for an Infomaniak invoice while everything seems to be in order.
