Hi Tony,
You realize that the DATABASE_NAME has no direct relationship to the
actual name of the database, right? The only purpose of DATABASE_NAME
is to tell Propel runtime how to find the connect params in the
runtime-conf.php (it looks for a key with the value of DATABASE_NAME).
You can have your database named whatever you want ...
