[xwiki-users] database name using the standalone jetty?

Hello XWiki experts, today, I tried to install a fresh xwiki. I downloaded the jetty thing in the current release (I do not like installers) and adjusted the hibernate.cfg.xml to uncomment the MySQL part and have <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/notationCensus</property> and related user and password. At launch, http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/, however, it tells me: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Access denied for user 'xwiki'@'localhost' to database 'xwiki' So... - the change to MySQL is well received - the change of user is right (I also tried changing it) - but the database name seems to be stuck. Is there some multiwiki ghost somewhere that I need to educate? thanks in advance. Paul
