Sir, naming a column "column" is generally considered a
bad idea, regardless of the DBMS being used. It's like
naming a variable "variable".

All my databases are named "database", "datafile", "datafil", 
etc. The tables are all named "table", "tabell", "datasett", 
etc. Every one who has to do maintenance on the databases hates
me. It's MySQL's fault for letting me set them up that way.
