Hi, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/reserved-words.html explicitly states that qualified identifiers do not have to be quoted even if they are reserved keywords ("A word that follows a period in a qualified name must be an identifier, so it need not be quoted even if it is reserved"). http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/sql-keywords-appendix.html does not seem to discuss this topic but empirical evidence seems to indicate PostgreSQL shares the same behavior. Is it possible to document the expected behavior? I need to know this information to fix this related bug: https://github.com/querydsl/querydsl/issues/936 Thanks, Gili -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Reserved-keywords-and-qualified-identifiers-tp5819597.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
