If the database name containing "." characters is auto-quoted, you'll be able to connect to it but not select from fully-specified tables in it. If it's not auto-quoted, you won't even be able to connect to it. -- Kian-Tat Lim, LSST Data Management, [log in to unmask] ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the QSERV-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=QSERV-L&A=1
