Re: Column name 'user' not allowed?

Try putting USER in quotes like this "USER".

Hi,

I tried to install phpopenchat but I can't create this table:

poc=> CREATE TABLE poc_user_account (
poc(> USER varchar(255) NOT NULL,
poc(> PASSWORD varchar(255),
poc(> CONFIRM_CODE char(32),
poc(> DISABLED int NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
poc(> KICKED int NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
poc(> PASSWORD_NEW varchar(255),
poc(> PRIMARY KEY (USER)
poc(> );
ERROR: syntax error at or near "USER" at character 35

After searching a while what's wrong I renamed column USER to USER2 and
now I can create the table! I don't see a reason why column name USER
isn't allowed?!

I am running Postgres 7.4.2 on Linux.

Thanks!

Thomas
