What do the other firebird tools do when field names are quoted? If
it is possible to determine if a field is quoted or not then we
should either perform a fixed conversion (eg to uppercase) or pass
the value directly. I would be concerned that if i enter names in
isql for example that i have to remember to quote them (or not) in my
java code. I think we need to find a simple solution, otherwise we
will be implementing numerous checks and conversions that have been
used in the past... Although i do like compatibility between
interclient and jaybird for example, this is probably a point where
we can place a marker in the ground and not cross it?
