USE my.db ...

----
| In xref:clauses/use.adoc[`USE`] clauses, databases and aliases with unquoted `.` are deprecated unless the `.` is used to indicate that the database or alias belongs to a composite database.
Names containing `.` should be quoted using backticks.
For example, `USE `my.db`` is valid.
a| The use of unquoted `.` characters in xref:clauses/use.adoc[`USE`] clauses when specifying databases and aliases was deprecated in 5.26, except when `.` indicated that the database or alias belonged to a composite database.
However, this deprecation was withdrawn in Neo4j 2025.06, and replaced by the following updates in Cypher 25:

* xref::deprecations-additions-removals-compatibility.adoc#_graph_reference_removed_name_parts_quoting[Removed support for quoted name parts in graph references]

* xref::deprecations-additions-removals-compatibility.adoc#_graph_reference_updated_graph_by_name_quotes[Update to graph functions]

This is because the previous quoting rules were inconsistent and ambiguous.
The rules are clarified and improved in Cypher 25.
For more information, see xref::values-and-types/graph-references.adoc#rules[Graph reference rules]
