   Tim,

   I've been using your module to enable people in my group to do searches on a 
database that is regularly
   backed up as a .csv file. The problem here is with a particular column name. 
Of the 140 columns in the
   database, one is named DESC, short for description. This was established 
well before my time at the
   company and I believe the name comes from GE who makes the Cimplicity 
product. If I try to do a SELECT
   using that column, the script dies, or quietly passes DESC in the column 
header and all the rows. I've
   tried to figure out how to get around it without success. Do you have any 
suggestions aside from
   renaming the column? (I was thinking along  the lines of escaping the name)

   Thanks,

   Blake Adkins
