Adding Spice models to database, can't have '.' in column names

I’m attempting to add spice models to a KiCad library database:

  • KiCad 8.0 on Linux
  • SQLite database

I first tried to name the database columns: Sim.Library, Sim.Name, etc. However, the fields did not show up in the schematic. I then tried: Sim_Library, and Sim_Name, and those worked fine.

Not sure if this is expected, or if I’m doing something wrong, but thought I would report in case anyone else runs into this.
