Hi Frank!

My take on this is that what is important here is that the tool does not fail at this point, so we should either:

- check before the "alter" is done (and lock the table name in some way for using it at this stage), or
- try 10 times with underscores, and if this fails, generate a quasi-unique random name (try as many times as needed)
