[postgis-users] Removed double quotes from column and table names

[Simon Greener]

Birgit,

I realise that I can do this manually. I was looking for a method for doing
this at the point of loading the shapefile into PostGIS using QGIS. I will
have a look at ogr2ogr to see if that helps.

Thanks
regards
Simon
