I tried encapsulating the DB name in double quotes (no good)

This is what the documentation says you are supposed to do for non-simple identifiers so you need to show your work to understand where you went wrong.


Actually, you really aren't supposed to put the database name in there at all; it's pointless since there is no ability to reference a database other than the one you are connected to.
