Description: ------------ Each database has a specific way of quoting table and column names. For instance, Oracle uses " and mysql uses `. This patch adds a quoteEntity() function to common.php, mysql.php, and oci8.php to support this. The function name is, of course, subject to change by the developers of DB. Note: functionality already released in DB_DataObject supports this method in DB, even though this patch has not been put in CVS or a release yet. This patch also adds extra functionality for the OCI8 driver to support connecting without setting up a TNS. It should still be fully BC. Please see the patch at: http://www.reversefold.com/~papercrane/DB.quoteEntities.diff

Thanks for the suggestion for delimiting identifiers. The quoteIdentifier() has been added to CVS. The connection idea should be given more consideration. I don't know if it would cause problems or not. It will have to wait for a later release. FYI: These concepts are fairly different. In the future, it'd be a good idea to make two separate feature requests.

Please open up a new feature request for the connection matter. Thanks.
