PostgreSQL: Cannot Create a table with Reserved Keyword

This article is half-done without your Comment! *** Please share your thoughts via Comment ***

You can’t create a table with the reserved keyword in PostgreSQL which is a very Common Sense.

But still, people are trying to create a table with Reserved Keywords. The reason is, they don’t know about which keywords are reserved and unreserved.

So in this post, I am sharing a script to check the list of Reserved and Unreserved keywords of PostgreSQL.

Sample table which we can’t create with reserved keyword:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
CREATE TABLE all (ID INT);
 
ERROR: syntax error at or near "all"
LINE 2: CREATE TABLE all (ID INT);
^
********** Error **********
 
ERROR: syntax error at or near "all"
SQL state: 42601
Character: 15

Sample table which we can create with unreserved keyword:
ALTER – look like reserved keyword, but it is not.

1
CREATE TABLE ALTER (ID INT);

Check all the reserved keywords:

1
2
3
SELECT *
FROM pg_get_keywords()
WHERE catdesc = 'reserved';

Check all the unreserved keywords:

1
2
3
SELECT *
FROM pg_get_keywords()
WHERE catdesc = 'unreserved';
