Question

I’ve a query like this, which is already in double quotes.

result = db.Query("SELECT ACTUAL_N_WELLS, TARGET_N_WELLS, YTD ACTUAL AS YTD_ACTUAL, 
YTD BUDGET AS YTD_BUDGET, (CONVERT(DATETIME,PERIOD,112)) AS DATES 
FROM DASH_GL_DRILLING_PERF
 WHERE ASSET_NAME='Bab & Gas Asset' 
AND (  to_date(DASH_GL_DRILLING_PERF.PERIOD,'yyyy/mm/dd') > 
(SELECT add_months(max(to_date(DASH_GL_DRILLING_PERF.PERIOD,'yyyy/mm/dd')),-3) 
from DASH_GL_DRILLING_PERF))");

In this the column “YTD ACTUAL” and “YTD BUDGET” have spaces, but since the query is already inside double quotes, how do I write the column names? How can I escape the double quotes in this case?

Answer 1

If you are using C#, Java or PHP on this, escape the double quotes with backslash \

result = db.Query("SELECT ACTUAL_N_WELLS, TARGET_N_WELLS, \"YTD ACTUAL\" AS YTD_ACTUAL....");
