Hi, I am able to create database name with special characters including * and ? on RHEL 8, Sqlite3. But it fails on windows Server 2016. So, how do I do this in windows, it works fine in RHEL 8. Following fails on windows 2016: ============================== ~~~ C:/user1/db>sqlite3 'Test*DB2' SQLite version 3.35.5 2021-04-19 18:32:05 Enter ".help" for usage hints. sqlite> create table IF NOT EXISTS table1 (field1 varchar(10)); Error: unable to open database "'Test*DB2'": unable to open database file C:/user1/db>sqlite3 'Test\*DB2' SQLite version 3.35.5 2021-04-19 18:32:05 Enter ".help" for usage hints. sqlite> create table IF NOT EXISTS table1 (field1 varchar(10)); Error: unable to open database "'Test\*DB2'": unable to open database file ~~~ But passes in RHEL 8. ===================== ~~~ # sqlite3 'Test*DB4' SQLite version 3.35.4 2021-04-02 15:20:15 Enter ".help" for usage hints. sqlite> create table IF NOT EXISTS table1 (field1 varchar(10)); sqlite># ls -l -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 8192 May 14 16:10 'Test*DB4' ~~~ Thanks, Narendra
