Kexi/Handbook/References/SQL Reference/SQL Reserved Words

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

SQL Reserved Words

The following lists contain words that should not be used because Kexi can use them in actual or future versions when dealing with data. Note that this is not a list of SQL keywords that are supported by Kexi but reservation for the future.

Warning

When designing your database you should do your best to avoid using these reserved words because otherwise you might end up having problems with your database file or even accidentally modify or remove the data.

Tip

If you still want to use reserved words enclose them with double quotation marks "".
