The `-` (dash) and `.` (dot) characters are not legal in Cypher variables.
Names with a `-` in them must be enclosed within backticks.
For example, `CREATE DATABASE ++`main-db`++` is a valid database name.
Since Neo4j 5.27 names with a `.` in them must be enclosed within backticks.
Since Cypher 25 names with a `.` in them must be enclosed within backticks.
However, database names with dots in them are not recommended, due to the difficulty of determining if a dot is part of the database name or a delimiter for a database alias in a composite database.
A future version of Neo4j may disallow database names with dots entirely.
