You should chose better variable names...

But, there is a way:

     <dtml-var "_['\x22Date\x22']">

But that does not mean that you must include the quotes in the
DTML variable names.

Your options (among others):

     "col" = <dtml-sqlvar col type=string>
or
     <dtml-sqltest col column="col" type=string>
