cqlsh:test> create table quoted_col_name ( pk int primary key, "'_-()""¬" int); cqlsh:test> select * from quoted_col_name; *pk* | *'_-()"¬* ----+--------- (0 rows) So one can quote at least some chars, including all the ones you mentioned. However, cqlsh does have a bug: cqlsh:test> DESCRIBE TABLE quoted_col_name *'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 72: ordinal not in range(128)* Anyway, perhaps you can avoid the "pain" you referenced above. ml
