Don't use double quotes unless you are asking for trouble!
Double quotes are used for case sensitive identifiers or identifiers
with whitespace characters. Usage of these features is not a good idea.

If you have found that you need them in queries, then your CREATE statements
used case sensitive table/attribute names. This will be a continuous source
of pain and I strongly recommend that you fix your CREATE statements.
