- Considerations
-
- SQL syntax is not case-sensitive, except for table names and field names.
- Backticks are (`) are needed around any table or field name that is one of the SQL Reserved Words.
- For example: SELECT * FROM `Order`
- Without the backticks, you get an error like this:
- Encountered "Order" at line column 15. Was expecting one of (...
- That error means the parser found a word it recognized, but didn't find other things it expected before it got to that word.
- When either a table name or a field name is reserved word, and both are used together, then backticks are needed around the combination.
- For example: `Order.order_number`
