PostgreSQL database name with special characters

[bruntib]

Superusers can add new products via the web GUI. This product addition also creates the database itself. However, an error is thrown when a PostgreSQL database name is provided that is starting with a digit or contains a dash character. These are not invalid characters in PostgreSQL, but the string has to be quoted in the SQL query:

CREATE DATABASE "42my-database";

If the database is created through SQLAlchemy, then quotation doesn't happen for some reason.
