Sounds like you are using an ordinary SQL92 identifier. Convert it to a delimited identifier by placing quotes around it and I think you'll be ok.

I am using derby for in-memory unit testing. Derby does not allow me to have a special character like '#' in the column name in my create table statement. Is there anyway to escape the special character so that I can have special characters in column names. I would really appreciate any help in this regard.
