Pandas version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

# %%
import os
import urllib
import pandas as pd
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
# %%
# CONNECT TO D/B
driver = '{ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server}'
server = os.environ['odbc_server']
database = os.environ['odbc_database']
authentication = 'ActiveDirectoryInteractive'
username = os.environ['odbc_username']
conn = urllib.parse.quote_plus(
 'DRIVER=' + driver +
 ';SERVER=' + server +
 ';DATABASE=' + database +
 ';UID=' + username +
 ';AUTHENTICATION=' + authentication + ';'
)
engine = create_engine('mssql+pyodbc:///?odbc_connect={}'.format(conn))
# %%
df = pd.DataFrame(
 data=[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]],
 columns=['a', 'b', 'c']
)
# %%
df.to_sql(
 name='Classified roads where maintenance should be considered, %',
 schema='[Reference.Infrastructure and transport.Roads.Maintenance.Source links]',
 con=engine,
 if_exists='replace',
 index=False
)
# %%
df2 = pd.read_sql_table(
 table_name='Classified roads where maintenance should be considered, %',
 schema='[Reference.Infrastructure and transport.Roads.Maintenance.Source links]',
 con=engine,
 index_col=False
)

Issue Description

In some circumstances such as this, schema in read_sql_table() is being interpreted as a database name + schema, rather than just a schema.

This results in a use <database> statement - and as ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server/Azure SQL Database doesn't accept use <database> statements this leads to an error:

ProgrammingError: (pyodbc.ProgrammingError) ('42000', '[42000] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server][SQL Server]USE statement is not supported to switch between databases. Use a new connection to connect to a different database. (40508) (SQLExecDirectW)') [SQL: use [Reference.Infrastructure and transport.Roads.Maintenance]]

In this example, Reference.Infrastructure and transport.Roads.Maintenance.Source links exists as a schema within the database. (In case of relevance, Reference.Infrastructure and transport.Roads.Maintenance is also a schema in the database.)

I'm struggling to work out the exact trigger for the error - if it's connected to the length of the schema name/the number of full stops (periods) in it. I get the error consistently using this schema name, but am struggling to reproduce it using other schemas that follow a similar structure. E.g. the following doesn't give me an error:

df2 = pd.read_sql_table(
 table_name='test',
 schema='[a.b.c.d.e e]',
 con=engine,
 index_col=False
)

Where a.b.c.d.e e is a schema within the database (as is a.b.c.d.e).

Expected Behavior

schema is just interpreted as a schema name, rather than database name + schema. Resulting in read_sql_table() retrieving table Classified roads where maintenance should be considered, % in schema Reference.Infrastructure and transport.Roads.Maintenance.Source links in my example.
