Oracledb_session query problem

Chef InSpec
1

ok I know this is probably a dumb question, but I'm attempting to do a simple query of the v$database table and it appears it is failing because of the '$' character. I just do not know how to escape this character because the \ does not work. I'm very new to inspec and not sure if it is some issue with how I'm connecting that is causing this issue since the oracledb_session reference does not appear to treat this v$database with any special requirements.

example.rb:
sql = oracledb_session(as_os_user: 'oracle', as_db_role: 'sysdba', service: 'myservice', sqlplus_bin: '/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/bin/sqlplus')

describe sql.query("SELECT name from v$database;").row(0).column('name') do
its('value') { should cmp 'ORCL' }
end

output:
Could not execute the sql query

it would appear that when using oracledb_session with the as_os_user you need to provide 4 backslashes before the $. so v\\\\$database works
