 RESERVED WORDS (SQL)
 --------------------
 
 SQL Reserved Words have special meaning IN SQL, AND may NOT be used FOR
 identifier names unless ENCLOSED IN "quotes".
 
 An asterisk (*) indicates words are also ANSI Reserved Words.
 
 Oracle prefixes implicitly generated schema object AND subobject names
 WITH "SYS_". TO avoid name resolution conflict, Oracle discourages you
 FROM prefixing your schema object AND subobject names WITH "SYS_".
