[Zope] Space in column name with ZODBC

[Alan Capesius]

Try single quotes instead of double quotes.

Another things you might try is brackets [First Name]
That's the way Access does it. (you can see the MSA SQL in the Design Screen
SQL View)
Brackets are also necessary if the field name matches an SQL keyword in
Access like [Desc], without the bracket you'll get a syntax error.

Better yet, lose all the dtml-sqltest stuff and just write SQL with the
parameters in dtml-sqlvar stmts.
Like this:

select * from CompByParent
where Parent = <dtml-sqlvar item type=int>
and Req like <dtml-sqlvar code type=string>
order by CItem

I'm not really sure why all the sql-test/sqlgroup stuff was necessary in
DTML, I've never had any use for it.
