table name with double underscore

[lukeholder]

The following connects successfully to the database:

require "rubygems"
require "sequel"

DB = Sequel.connect(
    :adapter => "tinytds",
    :username => 'sa',
    :password => 'Doric101',
    :host => '192.168.4.235',
    :database => 'ADCData_Doric'
    )

Running manual SQL queries works but the code here:

prm_master__employee = DB.from(:prm_master__employee)

prm_master__employee.each do |r|
    puts r.employee
end

results in the error:

/Users/lukeholder/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sequel-3.41.0/lib/sequel/adapters/tinytds.rb:221:in `fields': TinyTds::Error: Invalid object name 'PRM_MASTER.EMPLOYEE'. (Sequel::DatabaseError)
    from /Users/lukeholder/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sequel-3.41.0/lib/sequel/adapters/tinytds.rb:221:in `block in fetch_rows'

Obviously the tinytds adadper is looking for a table PRM_MASTER.EMPLOYEE but the table does not have a dot.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

ok, looking at documentation further, the double underscore is actually a notation created as a part of the Qualifying identifiers of sequel. Any way around this, as the table cannot be renamed to not contain double underscores?

I tried this which should be a valid symbol but it doesn't work either:

DB.from(:"prm_master__employee")

I suppose what I am asking is a way to use double underscores in a table name without it thinking im looking to make it a qualified query.

Additional question:

why does

class Employees < Sequel::Model(:prm_master__employee)

end

puts Employees.table_name

print out

prm_master__employee

but Employee.all fails with

 Invalid object name 'PRM_MASTER.EMPLOYEE'
