Connection to a database

[IgnacioAyerra]

Hi, the host name of my database includes a \ (which is recognized as invalid by Dynatrace when connecting to it frmo the sql extension). How can I circumvent that? Since changing the hostname would involve a lot of server downtime since everything points to the name with \

You can try the connection with the IP instead.

In what universe is backslash a valid character in a hostname?
Sure, there are UTF-8 characters possible in the DNS (very bad choice), see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name but those are translated to valid ascii characters.
