Hello,

I am a total newbie to PostgreSql, coming from MS Access background. I have
a question regarding queries in PostgreSql: why do I need to enclose every
field name and table name in quotation marks like

SELECT "Name" From "contacts"

That is a major inconvenience when composing a query string in a VB program.
Thank you.
