Re: ODBC queries don't recognize backquote as a quote character

Argh!

Connection>>delimitedIdentifierCharacter should be
ODBCConnection>>delimitedIdentifierCharacter

                Subject: ODBC queries don't recognize backquote as a quote character
               

                ODBC queries that use the backquote as a quote character are not parsed
                correctly. The following select will work fine;

                select `col1`,`col2` from `myTable`

                But

                select `col1?`,`col2` from `myTable`

                Will not work because the ? is detected by ExternalDatabaseSession>>setupQuery:
                and will require an input binding.

                The quote character should not be a fixed character but it should be the
                value returned by Connection>>delimitedIdentifierCharacter.

                Our software uses this value as the quote character and it seems the backquote
                is the return value when connecting to an Excel spreadsheet via ODBC.
