Hello, I have a problem with my App. I have an environment variable where its value has an underscore and is the name of a database. Example: test_SP. With this underscore it does not connect to the server, but to another database without the underscore it connects. Can anyone help?

Hi there,
I’ve just tested this on the App Platform and it does not look like to be treating underscores in any specific way:
Can you share more information about the database that you are using, is it a MySQL cluster or Postgres?
And also can you share more information about the framework that you are using so that I could test this out further.
Best,
Bobby
