Re: SQL Server 2000 to PostgreSQL 8.0.3

I have successfully moved the schema over to PostgreSQL.

Now I am working on the data.

In reviewing my tables, I found that for some strange reason a handful
of fields are not double-quoted. Strange quirk:

-- Table: "Orders"

-- DROP TABLE "Orders";

CREATE TABLE "Orders"
(
"OrderID" int4 NOT NULL,
"CustomerID" int4 NOT NULL,
"DateCreated" timestamptz,
"TotalPrice" numeric(19,4),
"ShipAddressID" int4,
"ShipDate" timestamptz,
"ShippingMethod" varchar(50),
"sfrepID" varchar(50),
"StatusID" int4,
"TrackingNumber" varchar(50),
ponumber varchar(50), <--------------HERE
"Comment" char(254),
"sfOrderNumber" varchar(50),
"UpdateDate" timestamptz
)
WITH OIDS;
ALTER TABLE "Orders" OWNER TO postgres;

What to make of this strangeness?
