[Gambas-devel] Database field name error.

[ron]

I have a table where one of the fields is named 'group'
This table has no primary key as need by gambas.
Using the database manager from gambas to add that key
does not work. I get a error near ',group from tblname' 

The database is a mysql 4.xx db.

Here is group interpreted as a reserved keyword from the 
'group by' syntax.

This as field name is allowed if the names of
database, table and field names are between backticks.

While in the past at my work the office people in exel made
tables with those reserverd column names or even spaces in it
I have the habbit always to use backticks on db, table and field names.

I suggest to do it in the mysql driver to.
Adding backticks does not harm but without them it does/can
create errors for unexperiented people they do not understand.


my 3 cents
