You can do it in SQLite: "my column" or [my column] or
'my column'.  The double quotes are allowed by SQL92 as
"aids for transitioning from ISO/IEC 9075:1989 to this
International Standard", and if I understand correctly,
only in weak implementations (entry level).  The brackets
are a Microsoft extension.  I don't know where the single
quotes came from.

I think the main reason for allowing these is to help
someone who might already have written dozens or hundreds
of queries that he wants to port to SQLite.  IMHO, they're
not 'proper' for new code, but I'm sure someone will
disagree.
