On the other hand, this will NOT work: create table "myName"( myColumnName varchar(32) ); select myColumnName from myName ; if you mean that you want some thing like: create table foo ( myColumnName varchar(32), MYcOLUMNnAME varchar(32) ); without using quotes, then that is not possible, per SQL specs. gnari
