Database Forge add_column query problem

[eluser]GreenDude[/eluser]
In the end I used a classic db->query to get around it, and it seems to work.

Thanks for the tip with the comment, maybe they'll condition the backticks in the future. Or maybe not.

Now I find myself with another problem... is there a predefined helper for processing the names I use in the columns and returning a "nicename" for use inside input element names?

The underscore is a solution, but if there's something already implemented please give me a hint.

Cheers,
