# Special Characters in Column Names

Column names with special characters require special treatment.

It is good practice for administrators to define column names that follow the SQL identifier rules. (See "Column Names" in TIBCO ActiveSpaces Administration.)

Nonetheless, in some situations, a table might contain non-standard column names. For example, a table copied from a legacy data base might have columns with names that contain a space character.

If you must refer to non-standard column names in a filter expression, surround the column name 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`
