Correct, I must have missed that. Sorry. Although I was talking about
table names, not column names.

Yes, I have never talked about order as a column name, only as a
table name. In 7.40 (not 7.39) it says that "most of [these keywords]
are forbidden as column and/or table names". So, the above can't
work, since a table can't be named order. Unless the above expects
you to create the table by qualifying it with the database name ...
