Well, by that reasoning, COMMIT reasoning is used only in a COMMIT statement,
so it should be allowable as a column name.
Doesn't matter where a keyword is used; if it's a keyword, it's a keyword.
Anyway, if you really want to use INFILE as a column name, you can do so,
but you need to enclose it in backquote (`INFILE`) each time you refer
to it. This will allow you to port your table from another database,
but since it still requires some rewriting (to add those pesky backquotes),
you may find it just as easy to rename the column.
