Harvinder,

Why do you want this grief? I would do everything in my power to convince the client to rebuild the table with a different column name.

To the best of my knowledge, you have locked yourself into a situation requiring the double quotes. I don't know of any way around it. Maybe someone else does.

If you take RAC out of Oracle you get OLE! What can this mean?

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
