Defect Number
Enhancement Number
Cause
Wrong type of quotation characters being used for identifier.
Resolution
It is important with JDBC to use the identifier quote string when referencing identifiers. Calling getIdentifierQuoteString() will return the valid quote character to use for identifiers.

With Hive, a back quote (`) is returned as the identifier quote string.
