Re: Reserved words, double quotes, triggers and Oracle

Galen,

Well, if you asked me just a month ago about the same thing I would have answered that in the same way you did. A month ago we didn't have in our mind an idea of moving to another DBMS. But now we are set to do this thing, and I think "I should have known about that stuff with the reserved words" ...

There are other DBs apart from those I know (SQLBase, MS SQLServer and Oracle), and they definitly have their own features. I think there are people who already had an experience of moving from one DBMS to another, so they should know about that and may share their experience. BTW Oracle migration whitepaper doesn't say any word about that...

Best Regards,

Aleksey Burdakov
