    There's nothing in the JDBC spec which says if this has to be refreshed 
when user session is changed manually. It seems that MySQL doesn't do a server 
call each time, but I haven't checked other drivers (not all databases allow to 
change the quoting identifier in the session).
    
    I would say it might not be necessary as someone who changed manually the 
quoting know that he/she is dealing with Drill and that he/she changed the the 
default quoting identifier. But people might have strong arguments in favor of 
refreshing...
