Answer 1

No - change the column name.

This is database-specific, and you just can't create such a column. After all hibernate finally sends DDL to the database. If you can't create a valid DDL with this column name, this means hibernate can't as well. I don't think quoting would solve the issue even if you are writing the DDL.

Even if you somehow succeed to escape the name - change it. It will work with this database, but won't work with another.
