Isn't there a way to quote reserved words when used as column names in 
oracle? In mysql one can use backticks in case a column name is a 
reserved word, like `condition`, while in postgres one can use single 
quotes for the same purpose. This would be less disruptive and would 
preserve backward compatibility.
