More information needed:
What database server are you using? (Assuming MySQL but you never know...)

If you are using MySQL, use:
create database `my-site`;

Assuming you mean MySQL...

What difference does it make to not use a hyphen? I mean, if the client
*wants* it that way is one thing, but databases are very "back end" and
may not ever be actually seen by the client. Just omit the hyphen is my
suggestion.

It may be like my server. I use CPanel and it appends the domainname to the
beginning of all databases created. e.g. domain_database .
So I would have to create a similar script to cause PHP to create a database
that added the underscore to the name with my domain before the underscore
on any db that I created.

Actually I can't create any database much less a mySQL database with a
dash in it, so I gave up and had the sys admin literally make it for
me, with an underscore.

How can I correct this error apart from eliminating the dash in
United-Kingdom?
Couldn't execute query 'SELECT * FROM United-Kingdom ORDER BY level
DESC': You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near '-Kingdom ORDER BY level DESC' at line 1

Here it complains that it deals with the character U+2013, which

That is a fact - Latin-1 does not support EN DASH.
That's because your console uses the code page 437:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
