[jira] [Commented] (TORQUE-203) Quote table names in creation

["Thomas Fox (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TORQUE-203?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13291525#comment-13291525 ] 

Thomas Fox commented on TORQUE-203:
-----------------------------------

All databases we support in 4.0 support quoting.
But as always, different database vendors implement things different. E.g.
MySQL: create table `book` (id integer not null); 
  select * from `book`; ->OK
  select * fron book; ->OK
Oracle: create table "book" (id number not null); 
  select * from "book"; ->OK
  select * fron book; -> Table not found
So quoting is not a solution IMHO.
As a user I'd not accept defining a table book and then find the table name to be "book" (with double quotes, as in Oracle).

> For some databases, table names can be quoted in the sql create scripts to avoid collisions with predefined names. Where possible, such quotation should be used.
