About

By using this component of the SQLAlchemy dialect compiler, it can define CrateDB's reserved words to be quoted properly when building SQL statements.

References

In this case, OBJECT needs to be quoted when used as column name.

This list clearly needs to be expanded. Suggestions are welcome. Probably, derive the list directly from CrateDB / crash / Admin UI? Can someone come up with suggestions for retrieving / generating an exhaustive list of reserved keywords for CrateDB?

In the past I extracted many into https://github.com/surister/cratedb-admin-alt/blob/master/src/store/crate_api/crate_lang.js but it is incomplete, perhaps we could maintain a crate-owned Gist with all of this properly done and complete. It could be javascript or python, dicts and lists are generally very copy-paste friendly.

Yeah, it would be sweet to maintain such a list on behalf of a Python generator, which derives them directly from the ANTLR grammar or so.

Hi again. Do you think cratedb-sqlparse should be used here, or would it be too heavy? Can you think of any alternatives?

I think we have some deviations from the postgres reserved keywords, I think it's better if we used the python sqlparser to get the list for CrateDB programmatically.

We can do it on a later iteration if we agree. I am not sure if it would be too heavy, see #21 (comment).

LGTM, thx!

By using this component of the SQLAlchemy dialect compiler, it can
define CrateDB's reserved words to be quoted properly when building
SQL statements.

This allows to quote reserved words like `index` or `object` properly,
for example when used as column names.
