[hannu@taru hannu]$ createdb this.is.legal.database.name
CREATE DATABASE
[hannu@taru hannu]$ psql this.is.legal.database.name
Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms \h for help with SQL commands \? for help on internal slash commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query \q to quit
this.is.legal.database.name=#
