I'm trying to use cakephp (2.3.2) to access an ms sqlserver db. I'm doing 
this via freetds on a linux platform ( after some unfinished hacking of the 
Mssql.php code from 1.3. )

I've just hit a problem in that many of the column and tables names that 
are used have spaces in them. After chasing my tail for some time I found 
it is due to the following code in lib/Cake/Model/Datasource/DboSource.php, 
[ which is still in the latest and greatest 2.4 version) that is  around 
817:


        $data = trim($data);
        if (preg_match('/^[\w-]+(?:\.[^ \*]*)*$/', $data)) { // string, 
string.string
            if (strpos($data, '.') === false) { // string

The problem is regexp seems to exclude the possibility of spaces.  Ok - 
it's easy to fix   - maybe subclass the routine into Mssql to be good , but 
I have a  concern  that space is being deliberately excluded and bad things 
might happen if it was permitted. Has anyone got comments?

[ The spaces are not my choice  and out of my control , so answers like 
"alter the column and table names" are not appropriate.]
