Oracle table column name with space

Question

Is it possible to create a table with column name containing space? If so how can I create and use it?

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible. You just have to be sure to quote the column name. For instance:

CREATE TABLE Fubar ("Foo Bar" INT);
INSERT INTO Fubar VALUES (1337);
SELECT "Foo Bar" FROM SpaceMonster

Even though it's possible, it doesn't make it a good idea. You'll probably save yourself from a lot of pain if just replace all you spaces with underscores.
