I guess my command of the english language isn't too
great.
I never realized that this quote from the manual:
"You're allowed to do it (for example, ABS is an
allowed column name), but whitespace is not allowed
between a function name and the `(' when using
functions whose names are also column names. "
meant:
"You can escape reserved words via the ` character"
Also, it is better explained here:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/L/e/Legal_names.html
but this is either a new edition to the docs or
something I missed earlier.
Still, its a question that's asked all the time on the
list and I've never seen it addressed, until now.
