we are developing GNUmed, a medical practice management

The idea is to name the production database "gnumed0.1" for
version 0.1 (gnumed0.2 etc for upcoming releases). I do
realize the "." may force me to quote the database name in,
say, a CREATE DATABASE call.
I doubt you'll have any problems with the tools, but the quoting may
prove painful. Why not replace the dot with an underscore? gnumed0_1
Or why bother including either? Just use sequential integers, maybe
left-padded with zeros to make the name the same length for the first
thousand or so releases?
