   that's the rules   
      
   also, '-' has special meaning to the parser   
      
   however, just like Access and VB use [] delimiters, Oracle (and I believe   
   this is standard ANSI SQL) uses "" delimiters to allow 'illegal' column (and   
   other object) names -- but I wouldn't recommend this   
      
   just use _ instead of -, and life with oracle will be just fine
