[Rt-devel] RT 3.4.2 + MySQL and a database name like "rtdb-service"

[Laurent GAUTROT]

While installing RT 3.4.2 + MySQL, I specified a database with a custom 
databasename, something like 'rtdb-servicename'. The problem was caused by
the
hyphen in the database name.

I had troubles for rt-setup-database, the script just died. Here is a patch I
applied to get the database created with the ACL.

The point is the protection of the MySQL database name and the protection of
the MySQL database username with "`".
