9.3 Keywords and Reserved Words
Keywords are words that have significance in SQL. Certain
keywords, such as SELECT
,
DELETE
, or
BIGINT
, are reserved and require
special treatment for use as identifiers such as table and column
names. This may also be true for the names of built-in functions.
Nonreserved keywords are permitted as identifiers without quoting. Reserved words are permitted as identifiers if you quote them as described in Section 9.2, “Schema Object Names”:
- near 'interval (begin INT, end INT)'
BEGIN
and END
are keywords
but not reserved, so their use as identifiers does not require
quoting. INTERVAL
is a reserved keyword and
must be quoted to be used as an identifier:
Exception: 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:
Names of built-in functions are permitted as identifiers but may
require care to be used as such. For example,
COUNT
is acceptable as a column name. However,
by default, no whitespace is permitted in function invocations
between the function name and the following (
character. This requirement enables the parser to distinguish
whether the name is used in a function call or in nonfunction
context. For further details on recognition of function names, see
Section 9.2.4, “Function Name Parsing and Resolution”.
The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEYWORDS
table lists the
words considered keywords by MySQL and indicates whether they are
reserved. See Section 25.14, “The INFORMATION_SCHEMA KEYWORDS Table”.
MySQL 8.0 Keywords and Reserved Words
The following list shows the keywords and reserved words in
MySQL 8.0, along with changes to individual words
from version to version. Reserved keywords are marked with (R).
In addition, _FILENAME
is reserved.
At some point, you might upgrade to a higher version, so it is a
good idea to have a look at future reserved words, too. You can
find these in the manuals that cover higher versions of MySQL.
Most of the reserved words in the list are forbidden by standard
SQL as column or table names (for example,
GROUP
). A few are reserved because MySQL
needs them and uses a yacc parser.
