But this doesn't:
select people.id from people.
Thanks.

Description:
If you create a table with a column name called 'desc' (as the command,
that is, without the '') mysql allows to create it, but then you
can't query or do any operation with it, always giving an error like:

'desc' is a reserved word.
If you insist on using it for a field name, enclose it in back-ticks: `desc`

MySQL's Documentation:
A name may start with any character that is legal in a name. In particular,
a name may start with a number (this differs from many other database

For example:
What would
SELECT 42 FROM SOME_TABLE
return? column name 42 or the numerical value 42 ?

Hello,
On the same database, this query works:
$SQL_Exec_String = INSERT INTO Multimedia (Titolo,Descrizione,Logo,Link)
VALUES ('prova titolo','prova descrizione','.gif','prova link');;
$cur= odbc_exec( $cnx, $SQL_Exec_String );
This one gives this error:
ISQL_exec_String = Insert Into
