>                 Key: OPENJPA-84
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-84
>             Project: OpenJPA
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: sql
>            Reporter: Roger Keays

> OpenJPA does not escape reserved words in SQL queries when they are used as column names. To escape a reserved name you just put it in quotes:
> INSERT INTO FB_PRIVILEGES (comment, inheritable, level, role, type, username, item_uuid) ...
> on oracle, becomes 
> INSERT INTO FB_PRIVILEGES ("comment", inheritable, "level", role, "type", username, item_uuid) ...
> Looking at the code in DBDictionary, it appears that the escaping is done for table and sequence names by appending a numeral to the name. There isn't really any good reason to do this instead of quoting the identifier.
> table.name identifiers would have to be escaped as "table"."name" if both table and name were reserved words.
