I would like to configure an existing application to use MySQL. Unfortunately the schema of the application contains some reserved word which cause the application to fail when run against MySQL. Initially I hoped to get around the problem by creating the tables manually and enclose the reserved words in quotes as suggested here:http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/reserved-words.html

However there are still references to the problematic columns within the application. Is it possible to get hibernate to also enclose any column references with quotes ? I have a look at the available configuration properties, but could not find any that would do that.

Unfortunately it is too late to change the schema at this stage.

Thanks in advance
Alex
