test=# create table zz(ss int, ff varchar);
test=# create view ff2 as select ff as user, ss as num from zz;
test=# create view ff3 as select ff as user1, ss as num from zz;
test=# \d ff2
               View "ff2"

View definition: SELECT zz.ff AS "user", zz.ss AS num FROM zz;

test=# \d ff3
                View "ff3"
 Attribute |       Type        | Modifier
-----------+-------------------+----------
 user1     | character varying |

View definition: SELECT zz.ff AS user1, zz.ss AS num FROM zz;

Why in the first case column has name "user" (with '"') ?
