Database with dots

Early version of odoo doesn’t allow to create databases with dots. You can remove this restriction in two ways:

  1. Updates sources:

    cd path/to/odoo
sed -i 's/matches="[^"]*"//g' addons/web/static/src/xml/base.xml

  2. update html code via Inspect Element tool

    You must remove the matches field value.

To create new database simple add -d parameter when you run odoo, e.g.:

./openerp-server -d database1

– will create new database with name database1
