Some DatabaseMetaData methods have parameters for the name or
pattern of a catalog, schema, table, and/or column. There is no
mention of whether quoted identifiers should be used in these
parameters for identifiers that may be reserved words or contain
special characters. Different JDBC vendors may use different
interpretations for this, resulting in incompatibilities.

Do I pass in a quoted identifier, in the format that would be
used in a SQL statement (wrap with quotes and double any
contained quotes), or do I pass in a string that matches what is
in the system catalog? Please make the documentation specific.
