   You've made my day! I have always fought developers on issues like this. My advice would be for you to use this situation to get the column name changed. I predict that this column will continue to cause you grief.

Hi,

One of our client has a table with column name "access". Since access is reserver word...they use double quotes...... now when we try using ODBC to :
select access from table
it gives error..but
select "access" from table works......
But we want select access from table to work........

IS there and escape sequence in ODBC where it will not give error for reserved words????......

Thanks
