Hi:
I think your problem is in the Perl side more than in
PostgreSQL's. When you said you tried escaping with \, Did you mean exactly this?
"delete from \"thedb.v1\".theschem.thetab where col1 = 1"
I think this should work.
Or you can use single quotes to enclose the query, so that you don't need to escape the double quotes:
'delete from "thedb.v1".theschem.thetab where col1 = 1'
Best regards.

Hi:
I have a DB named "thedb", which has a schema called "theschem" which has a table called "thetab". In a perl/DBI script, I am able to work with the table by referencing it as... "thedb.theschem.thetab" as in... "delete from thedb.theschem.thetab where col1=1"
No problem (so far...)
New DB now has a name "thedb.v1" (notice the "."), the schem and table are the same as above. But now I'm getting a syntax error presumably because of that "." introduced in the DB name.
I tried encapsulating the DB name in double quotes (no good), single quotes (still no good) escaping with '\' (no good), escaping with ".." (no good).
Is there a way I can reference the DB which has the "." in it's name ?
v11.5 on linux (I know, way past time to upgrade)
Thanks in Advance !
