Glom is for users who don't care about SQL. Also, users of raw SQL will rarely want to use Glom's databases. I could prevent the user from using uppercase and spaces in table names but it would just seem arbitrary and unnecessarily techy, like requiring 8-character filenames. If quotes really mean "I really mean this" (as I believe) then I would expect well-written SQL to use them always, particularly if that SQL is generated. libgda generates SQL so it shouldn't require me to add quotes myself. -- [email protected] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ gnome-db-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-db-list
