Hi Nadya,

If table/filed name doesn't follow requiremebnts for MS SQL indetifiers, you can enclose them into square brackets. If you want to be the SQL-92 compliant, you can use double quotes but it requires SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER to be set to ON at parse time.
Using column names or column #'s, is a matter of personal preference. I usually use column names so I can freely rearange columns in the list if I have to.
