SQL Identifiers

TIBCO recommends administrators to define table and column names that follow the SQL identifier rules. For details, see "Column Names" in the TIBCO ActiveSpaces Administration guide.

In some situations, a data grid might contain non-standard table or column names. For example, a table copied from a legacy database might have columns with names that contain a space character or there might be a table or column name with a SQL keyword.

If you must refer to a non-standard identifier in a SQL statement, surround the identifier with any of the following escape characters:
Technique Example
Double quotes "column name"
Escaped double quotes \"column name\"
Square brackets [column name]
Back ticks (accent grave) `column name`
