>Description:
Upgrading from 3.22 to 3.23 with a field having a reserved name
ALTER TABLE barfs and doesn't let me do
ALTER TABLE casualties CHANGE when cas_when DATE NOT NULL;
cos of the reserved word "when".
>How-To-Repeat:
Have a field called "when" in 3.22, upgrade to 3.23
>Fix:
Manually edited the .frm file - didn't feel right
Need something to either do it automatically on upgrade, or a standalone
utility to modify the mysql files directly.
