Hi John,
Have you tried uppercasing as well as doublequoting the column name.
E.g., "XML" rather than "xml"?
Thanks,

I am trying to upgrade an old app (v8 or 9) to 10.5.3 but have run up
against a serious problem. The DB contains several tables with columns
called XML, which is now a reserved word in v10.x. These cause SQL
exceptions when the app tries to access them.
The older version of Derby that the app currently uses doesn't support
column renaming, so I can't change the existing tables in situ, and as
it's a live system I can't afford to just recreate the tables.
I've tried surrounding the name XML in double quotes ("xml") but that
doesn't work.
Is there perhaps a version of Derby that I can download that supports
column renaming but doesn't have XML as a reserved word? Or is there
another solution that I've missed?
TIA,
