RE: double quotes column name

2002-08-21 Thread Fink, Dan

This is not a guaranteed method, but the fact that 'access' is stored in the
data dictionary is an indicator that they used  to force the name. Anytime
you see lowercase, you can assume that they used . Of course, if the
created it as ACCESS, my method won't work...

RE: double quotes column name

2002-08-21 Thread Naveen Nahata

Harvinder,

The columns created with double quotes show as such in user_tab_columns, i
mean they show the name in the same case

so...

NameDisplayed
Access - Access
ACCess - ACCess

and so on. and when u query the table use  select Access FROM.

RE: double quotes column name

2002-08-21 Thread Hately Mike

Harvinder,
The column won't be created with a quotation mark as part of its name.
Oracle won't allow it.
All the quotation mark does is allow the creation of the column in the first
place, circumventing the syntax rules. 
This is not a good thing. I'll lay good odds that it causes problems
somewhere down the line.
Every time that column is referred to you'll have to enclose it in quotes.
It's a terrible design choice. Go back to them and make them change it.
Actually, as they're a client rather than a supplier you should advise
them to change it.  =)   
Flouting Oracle's object naming rules never did anyone any good.

Regards,
Mike Hately
Oracle DBA

Re: double quotes column name

2002-08-21 Thread Jared . Still

 how can we know that this table is created with  column name

When the column name is a reserved word, or appears with lower
case characters.

Re: double quotes column name

2002-08-21 Thread Marul Mehta

I guess this is not the case.

1. create table t(TABLE Varchar2(10));
2. select table_name,column_name from user_tab_columns where table_name='T';

TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME
-- --
T  TABLE

Even though TABLE is a reserved word it appeared in uppercase when
user_tab_columns was queried.
