@StevishMar 16.2009 — I think you can use backticks (usually next to the 1 key on most US keyboards) to surround the name.

@Mr__E__CrypticMar 16.2009 — if [Column Name] isn't working, try 'Column Name':

[code=html]"SELECT * from 'Column Name' WHERE..........";[/code]

@NogDogMar 16.2009 — The actual answer will depend on the DBMS being used. MySQL uses the above-mentioned back-tick for quoting column/table names, while others such as PostgreSQL and MSSQL can use normal double quotes for this. I believe MSSQL also supports the square bracket syntax.
