| Hi there,I'm trying to recreate a MS-SQL database in MySQL. One particular table has a column names "Precision", a reserved word in MySQL. I woudl really prefer to keep this name if possible as it will be referenced in all sorts of places. I've tried single and double quotes, that didn't work.Is it possible to use reserveds word as column names? How?cheers |

[reserve word] this works on MS-SQL, not so sure about MySQL
