Avoid using any ODBC reserved keywords as identifiers in your SQL tables or related objects. If an odd case arises where you must use a reserved keyword as an identifier, you must surround the identifier with a pair of backticks (`). Another name for backtick is back quote.
The reserved keyword limitation also applies to any shorthand form of the reserved keywords.
A list of the ODBC reserved keywords is available at:
