Hi, To be more precise, it is not DBIdentifier#setName but the Normalizer#normalizer that is static:
https://github.com/apache/openjpa/blob/ffe3fe4a5051632d15973a0084767612ab22ad17/openjpa-jdbc/src/main/java/org/apache/openjpa/jdbc/identifier/Normalizer.java#L33 ------------------------------------ public class Normalizer { private static IdentifierUtil normalizer = new DBIdentifierUtilImpl(new DefaultIdentifierConfiguration()); private static IdentifierRule defaultRule; static { defaultRule = normalizer.getIdentifierConfiguration().getDefaultIdentifierRule(); } .... public static String delimit(String name, boolean force) { return normalizer.delimit(defaultRule, name, force); } ------------------------------------ And as you can see the Normalizer#delimit method use the static IdentifierUtil which is configured with the DefaultIdentifierConfiguration. It does not take into account the dictionary. So when you call something like DBIdentifier.newSchema("My-schema"), it always use DefaultIdentifierConfiguration to delimit identifier.
