I think the grammer should help the parser to determine what you mean when the token ORDER is seen.

for example in a select statement...

Syntax:
SELECT expression [, ...]
    ...
    [ FROM from_item [, ...] ]
    [ WHERE condition ]
    ...
    [ ORDER BY expression [ ASC | DESC | USING operator ]

keywords (or reserved words) should not be placed in quotes because the parser relies on them to steer ...

Cheers

Hi, I'm working on migrating a data layer from MS SQL Server to PostgreSQL 8.2 and found that some reserved words should only be written between quotes and thus are case sensitive (actually only happened with a table field named "order"). Is there any way to bypass this  case sensitivity or at least determine that I am going to use certain reserved words as table fields (or any other possible solutions) ?

 

Thanks,

 

Sebastian
