I got burned by that too!  why do spaces matter and if the code can't be
fixed, could the documentation have a large *danger* marker on this
point?  in fact, exploring all of the aspects of the layout string would
be a useful addition to the documentation.

having avoided databases for the past 25 plus years, I must admit
MetaKitm akes it reasonably painless (as long as you leave spaces out of
certain strings)
