This appendix lists the words reserved for use by the Oracle utilities. It also explains how to avoid problems that can arise from using reserved words as names for tables and columns, which usually should not be named using reserved words.
Some languages and utilities have reserved words. The reserved words have special meanings to that language or utility. Generally you should avoid naming your tables and columns using words that are reserved by any of the languages or utilities you are likely to use. Refer to the various language and reference manuals and to this appendix for lists of reserved words.
Consult the Oracle8i SQL Reference for a list of words that are reserved by SQL. Tables and columns that have SQL reserved words as their names must have those names specified in double quotation marks.
Because the following words have special meanings for SQL*Loader, Oracle Corporation recommends that you do not use them as names for tables or columns. If you do use them, the names should be enclosed in double quotation marks.
