Apologies if this has been discussed before, I searched but couldn’t find it. What is the rationale behind picking backticks for identifier delimiters in spark? In the [SQL 92 spec]( https://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql/sql1992.txt), the delimited identifier is unambiguously defined to use double quotes; and lots of databases/data warehouses accept this syntax:
<delimited identifier> ::= <double quote> <delimited identifier body> <double quote> <delimited identifier body> ::= <delimited identifier part>... <delimited identifier part> ::= <nondoublequote character> | <doublequote symbol> <nondoublequote character> ::= !! See the Syntax Rules <doublequote symbol> ::= <double quote><double quote> Is there any plan to accept double-quote delimited identifiers, at least when ansi mode is turned on? Regards, Virgil.
