Hello,

One of our tables awb_msg has the field name 'text' and when I try to
use the DBI to do a select it prompts an error. How can I do this.

I can't change the field name as it is in a production environment and
has been use for the past 10 years with no problems. We are using ms-
sqlserver. And also, I have no control of changing the field name. So,
changing the field name is not possible.

Here is my test:

This is working correctly.

--
my $sql = "SELECT seq, create_date, msg_code, send_receive FROM
awb_msg where seq = 7989176";

it returns:

 Number of Fields: 4
7989176, 2009-03-02 01:20:45.430, FHL, R

---

But, once I add the 'text' field in the SELECT Query, Perl DBI stops
with an error:

---
my $sql = "SELECT seq, create_date, msg_code, send_receive, text FROM
awb_msg where seq = 7989176";

DBD::ODBC::st fetchrow_arrayref failed: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server

I have tried various ways and all returns an error:

awb_msg.text
awb_msg."text"
"awb_msg"."text"
etc.

Please guide me how I can do this.
