Question

What are the not suggested characters the user can include in a table name?
I give the user the opportunity to create tables in my app, but I want to prevent force closes deriving from including bad characters in the table name.
What are these characters? Any how can I include them in an array?
e.g. List<String> usable_chars = Arrays.asList(";", "'", "/");
but it gives me an error for “\” and “””, what is the right syntaxis for these in a list?

Thanks

In java you will need to escape certain characters.
See “Escape Sequences”
