How to quote/escape identifiers such as column names with JDBC?

Question

Different database servers use different ways to quote and escape identifiers.

E.g. \"foo bar\" vs `foo bar` vs [foo bar], or \"10\"\"\" vs \"10\\\"\", or identifier

Answer 1

Have a look at

DatabaseMetaData.getIdentifierQuoteString()

I never used it but it sounds good :-)

getExtraNameCharacters() could also be of some help
