OK, nice trick to circumvent the quotes.
But I will use a alfa letter in front with or without undescore.
Simple because the underscore is mostly used as seperator for words in names.
And most languages wants alfa as first character,  dispite postgres accept it.
I'm not covinced other databases accept the underscare as first.

And maybe the gambas interface to postgres also does not accept it
even if postrges does it well.
