Thank you Helen,


Enclosed with quotas work fine.

Regarding role names -> I can not change them.. I mean I must not. 


As you know the firebird 2.5 does not support domain groups in trusted  auth. I have a lot of users grouped in different domain groups! My role names equals domain name groups and i match users and roles  by some Delphi code. So finally in that way i can give rights to domain groups ;)

That's why it is more complicated and long time cost to give a task to administrators to change group names ....


Thank you for support

Simply put, a role name is an SQL identifier, so it must comply with Firebird's rules for identifiers. If you *really* must have a space in a role name, you'll have to enclose it in double quotes when you define it (that will also make it case-sensitive) AND always include the double quotes when you use it in your applications.

But instead of making a rod for your back (my opinion of quoted identifiers!), why not use the underscore as your separator?
