Hello Balázs,
I have a generic access tool for databases and support Derby, H2, HSQL,
MariaDB, MS SQL, MSAccess, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. Early on
I did not quote table, column names, etc. In not doing so it became obvious
the tool would not be able to work with some users mixed upper and lower
case character definitions for identifiers.
Most of the database do use quotes for identifiers for the reason Dave
indicated to support upper and lowercase character definitions for users.
I also advise properly quoting field data that are not explicity defined
as numbers. Case by case context of course.
