USER is a reserved word in SQL and as such cannot be used as a non-quoted
identifier so "user" (with the quotes) should work, however you'd probably
have to use the quotes in all cases. Technically, we allow some reserved
words as non-quoted identifiers in some places, however to be compliant to
spec you cannot use any of the reserved words that way.
