[shrug...] You could probably hack the grammar to throw away a
qualifier there, but wouldn't it be easier to fix your incorrect SQL?
AFAICS, SQL92 does not allow a qualified name there, and SQL99 does but
appears to assign it some completely other semantics than what you're
expecting --- looks like an object method call of some kind... so you
are in for trouble in the long run if you don't fix your code.
