OT: First Names with Spaces

[ted leslie]

no different then "van halen" or many other dutch names for example
treated in DB's,
it would be the field verification code that would have issue (if
programmer implemented such), not the DB, DB's usually except spaces
just fine in a char/varchat/text field.
now a '  as in O'brien , totally different story, have to escape that
or store in a format acceptable to db, and not for the field itself
but for the calls that interface with the data.
