According to this answer, you can escape a table name by putting double-quotes around it. The SQLite documentation further states that brackets and back-ticks are also possible for compatibility with other systems.
This works on tables from the current database, however, when I try to do this on an attached database I get an error:
ATTACH db2 AS x; SELECT * FROM "x.table1";
yields the error:
no such table: x.table1
If I remove the "x." and run the query directly on database db2, it works.
So how do I escape the table name when it is part of an attached database?
I have tried the brackets and backticks, and I have also tried quoting only the table name and not the "x." part, e.g. all of the following:
ATTACH db2 AS x; SELECT * FROM `x.table1`;
ATTACH db2 AS x; SELECT * FROM [x.table1];
ATTACH db2 AS x; SELECT * FROM x."table1";
ATTACH db2 AS x; SELECT * FROM x.`table1`;
ATTACH db2 AS x; SELECT * FROM x.[table1];
None of these work.
