Hi Satyam,
this has historical reasons. In the beginning all SQL queries were
embedded in Java programs and thus Java strings. So single quote was
handy for declaring SQL strings in a Java string and backticks for
escaping keywords. But I agree that we should make this configurable.
Feel free to open an issue for this in JIRA.
Regards,
Timo
