How do I escape a reserved word in Oracle?

Question

In TSQL I could use something like Select [table] from tablename to select a column named \"table\".

How do I do this for reserved words in oracle?

Answer 1

Oracle does use double-quotes, but you most likely need to place the object name in upper case, e.g. "TABLE". By default, if you create an object without double quotes, e.g.

CREATE TABLE table AS ...

Oracle would create the object as upper case. However, the referencing is not case sensitive unless you use double-quotes!
