[SOLVED] AR with table names.

[eluser]Clooner[/eluser]
I'm currently rewriting a CI application which has a lot of bad SQL and I'm trying to speed it up significantly. One of the big problems what I run into is that most SQL in this case is not written in AR. I found out why this is because AR messes up large parts of the table names.

It's not uncommon to have a dash in a table name in this project but in a join using AR things get messed up. Lets say we have the table: tax-groups and we are doing a join. AR will actually protect the table name to `tax`-`groups` and not `tax-groups`.

Is this wanted behavior or a bug.?

I know I can simply disable the protect identifiers and put them in myself or get the SQL statement and replace `-` by a - but I would like to use AR.
