Hello Mathew, I solved this by extended the Dictionary and overriding the toDBName methods.
@Override public String toDBName(DBIdentifier name) { if (!getSupportsDelimitedIdentifiers()) { return name.getName(); } else { for (String s : invalidColumnWordSet) { if (StringUtils.equalsIgnoreCase(s, name.getName())) { String resp = getNamingUtil().delimit(name.getType().name(), name.getName(), true); return resp; } } } return getNamingUtil().toDBName(name); } @Override public String toDBName(DBIdentifier name, boolean delimit) { if (!getSupportsDelimitedIdentifiers()) { return name.getName(); } else { return getNamingUtil().toDBName(name, delimit); } } This was for Postgres and your milage may vary...
