Doing a Rails project with MongoDB + MongoMapper

Rake creates the Mongo db with environment names hyphenated

ie myapp-development

which does not play well in the Mongo shell…. To edit the environment names, do I need to override the core Rails code or can it be done on a per app basis?

Else, is there a way to run commands normally on a hyphenated db name from mongo shell?

db.test.find()

returns OK

db.tests-hyphenated.find()

returns

ReferenceError: hyphenated is not defined

.

use tests-hyphenated
db.this.find()

returns OK

    You can make it play in the mongo shell like this:

    db["tests-hyphenated"].find()
