[orm-devel] Non-alphanumeric column identifyers

[Diedrich Vorberg]

Hello everybody!

I've made changes to orm to allow the following to work:

  class email:
    columns = {'Subject': text(columnName='"Subject"'),
               'MessageID': text(columnName='"Message-ID"') }

as you see the MessageID attribute is mapped to a column whoes name is
enclosed in "" in SQL. The " will be stripped of the identifyer in
dbclass.py. (In MySQL you have to use ` instead of ", both
possibilities are handled correctly).

As a sidenote I'd like to welcome Charles Brandt on the list, who
brought this up. Iresent his mail and my response to orm-users.

Regards
Diedrich
