What should be done if a SQL field name is a keyword?
If the field name is a keyword, it can be handled using the following method:
- Enclose field names in square brackets [] to indicate that they are identifiers and not keywords.
For example, if the field name is “order,” you can query it using the following method:
Select the “order” column from the table named table_name.
- Use aliases to name your fields, replacing keywords with different names.
For example, if the field name is “order”, you can query it using the following methods:
Choose the order number from the table.
- You can refer to the documentation of the specific database system to determine if there are any special escape characters or syntax for handling keywords as field names.
Please be aware that it is recommended to avoid using keywords as field names to reduce the likelihood of encountering issues.
