Hi =)

I’m using infinityfree in an online course and my account was suspended when I was trying tu change my DB name in phpmyadmin.
I’d like to open a ticket but I’m unable to do so
I’m just trying to understand what went wrong and how not to repeat this since I can’t use the service after one simple action.
And I don’t really see the point if I have to wait 24h every time I try something =)
You should not be able to rename a database from phpMyAdmin, or in any other way for that matter. The database names, user and permissions are controlled by the hosting platform, and you cannot change them yourself.
This is actually quite standard with web hosting, or any server where you don’t have full, unrestricted administrative control over the database. The hosting platform sets up the databases and database users, and makes sure that your database user has access to your databases. Once you start renaming your own databases, you risk losing access to it if your database user can’t access the new database name. Or worse, it would allow someone to hijack your database by renaming the database your account to a name which the attacker has access to.
Unfortunately, MySQL doesn’t really provide that option.
