Query builder escaping periods when using TableName.Column

Hey!

In my query, I'm using the "TableName.ColumnName" syntax to designate a specific column.
Unfortunately, when using the query builder, the period in those parts is getting escaped, forming the following:
"`TableName`.`ColumnName`"
Which obviously throws a SQL Error.

Is there a way to solve this other than turning off QueryBuilder's "automatic SQL Injection prevention" (Which is pretty much my top reason for using Query Builder. Otherwise I could just build the query string on my own.)?
(The solution of turning off QueryBuilder's automatic escaping was posted on StackOverflow)

Thank you very much!
