An empty string is just a string, so unless drivers actively test for it, that should work I guess. But this is certainly playing a bit with fire. Wouldn't be surprised that applications consuming such empty field name don't like it much. Actually just seeing that PostgreSQL and mySQL don't like empty string as a column. It seems to be a general SQL92 restriction actually (SQLite3 is an exception to that) Even -- Spatialys - Geospatial professional services http://www.spatialys.com
