Is Ignition's Transaction Group capable of writing to a SQL table, if the table begins with a number? I am having issues with writing to any table like this and would like clarification, if anyone can help.

Likely not.

Plan on changing your table naming convention. (And make sure you don't have column names that start with a digit, either.)

If you wish to avoid many problems in many platforms, limit your db/schema/table/column names to common proper language identifiers. (Starts with a letter or underscore, composed of letters, digits, and underscores.)
