SQLite issue with Table Names using numbers?

Question

I\'m developing an app which requires that the user selects a year formatted like this 1992-1993 from a spinner. The tablename is also named 1992-19

Answer 1

Yes and No. It has an issue with numbers at the beginning of a table name. 1992-1993 is an expression returning -1. Try to rename the table to Year1992.

Here a similar issue on SO.

Answer 2

sorry for late post

There may be a deeper issue here - is the structure you are using (table name per item in spinner) the best one for the job?

You may find that you want a number of tables e.g.

spinner_value (id, value) form_data(id, spinner_value_id, etc ....)
