There's a potential bug in DaVinci Resolve that's been bothering me for a while.
When using the Media Pool, you are allowed to rename a timeline using the F2 button or by double-clicking the name. The new name can't contain symbols like "/" or "\", and probably some others, as DaVinci simply doesn't allow entering those characters.
Hoverer, I wanted to name my timelines "Part X/Y", and I've accidentally discovered that when you enable the "Display Stacked Timelines" option, you can right-click the timeline name and select the option to rename it. There, DaVinci will allow you to enter any character including "/" and "\", which, depending on how project data is stored in the database, could have some unforeseen consequences.
Currently, I use DaVinci 20 Beta 3, but it behaved the same in DaVinci 19 and 18.
