This is when it will happen... Access usually does the " " and hence the problem...

SVCTOOL>create table "test" (testnum number);

Table created.

SVCTOOL>select table_name from user_tables;

TABLE_NAME

---

test

SVCTOOL>desc test
ERROR:
ORA-04043: object test does not exist

SVCTOOL>desc "test"

 Name                                                  Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------------------------- -------- ------------

 TESTNUM                                                        NUMBER
