Hello,

This is with 14.1 on Linux. I have created a new database with

$ createdb -U sisis -T template0 SRP-27097

I can connect to it, created tables and fill them with SQL:

$ psql -Usisis -dSRP-27097
psql (14.1)
Geben Sie »help« für Hilfe ein.

SRP-27097=# select count(*) from sisisinst;
count
-------
2

but I can not drop the database:

$ psql -Usisis -dtestdb
psql (14.1)
Geben Sie »help« für Hilfe ein.

testdb=# DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS SRP-27097 WITH FORCE;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "-"
ZEILE 1: DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS SRP-27097 WITH FORCE;

Why is this?

matthias
