I am finding out for the first time that by having a database created with the name: MyTest, I cannot do a simple query as follows: postgres=# select * from MyTest.public.cars; ERROR: cross-database references are not implemented: "mytest.public.cars" Notice, however since I created a cars table in the postgres database, I was able to do a query: postgres=# select * from postgres.public.cars ; carid | name | vendor | type -------+--------------+--------+------ H1 | Civic | Honda | FF N1 | Skyline GT-R | Nissan | 4WD T1 | Supra | Toyota | FR T2 | MR-2 | Toyota | FF (4 rows) So the problem, it seems that mixed case database names might not be supported with pssql? I have a feeling that the default character set is SQL-ASCII and should be changed to something else? What might that be and how can I change/update the character-set (encoding)? Thanks!
