It is not something SQLite does, and it is not something SQLite insists on. Whoever created the table orignally used square brackets and they worked, but that doesn't mean that everything else has to use square brackets from then on. If you like things to use square brackets do it yourself, so do alter table database add column [real_length] numeric; Simon.
