in reply to escape dot in db password

I guess you made a little typo. IMHO no need to down vote your node as obviously some did. Correct it like this:

<strike>linex</strike> Linux

This will result in linex Linux and satisfy all pedantic brothers and sisters in the monastery.

Update: And you meant platform i guess. Not flatform which has something do with shoes or flat form which describes something geological.

Best regards, Karl
