Tom, thanks for trying to help, but what you're describing has absolutely
nothing to do with my problem.  I have no problem with quotes/apostrophes.
My problem is with the hyphen, or dash character:  " - ".  If my database
property file is named "checksums-ora.prp" I get errors when executing the
DatabaseMetaData.getTables method.  It seems that the sql parser gets
confused when it encounters a dash in the db name.  If I remove the hyphen
from the database name, so that it is "checksumsora.prp" theree are no
errors when calling the DatabaseMetaData.getTables method.

Once again: no problems with quotes or apostrophes!  My problem is with
hyphens.

Regards,
Bill Graham
