Takeshi Yamamuro commented on SPARK-18502:
------------------------------------------
Currently, AFAIK no.
However, the SQL standard
(http://savage.net.au/SQL/sql-99.bnf.html#delimited%20identifier) specifies a
double quotation (") as an escape one and I feel we need a general approach to
escape these metacharacters in Spark.
Certainly, other databases can use back quotations in column names.
ex) PostgreSQL
{code}
postgres=# create table test_table("i`d" INT, "value" VARCHAR);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# \d test_table
Table "public.test_table"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+-------------------+-----------
i`d | integer |
value | character varying |
postgres=# insert into test_table values(1, 'aa');
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# select "i`d" from test_table;
i`d
-----
1
(1 row)
{code}
> Spark does not handle columns that contain backquote (`)

> Reporter: Barry Becker
> Priority: Minor

> I know that if a column contains dots or hyphens we can put
> backquotes/backticks around it, but what if the column contains a backtick
> (`)? Can the back tick be escaped by some means?
> Here is an example of the sort of error I see
