I renamed the default railway database to inventory and since then I’ve been experiencing the following issues:

1. I can only view my database tables through the terminal; they don’t appear in the graphical panel.

2. My application handles logs, but I’m unable to manage the following warning that appears when starting the service:

2025-07-25T17:36:47.547516Z 0 [Warning] [MY-011810] [Server] Insecure configuration for --pid-file: Location '/var/run/mysqld' in the path is accessible to all OS users. Consider choosing a different directory.

Hello,

Railway dashboard is configured to show the content of the "railway" DB and you can't change that. Best practices are to keep using that DB and create a new mysql service for each db you need to use.
