I disagree. I have never ported an app written for PostgreSQL to
another database system, and have no plans to start. The fact that
some other database system might barf on a particular bit of SQL is
insufficient reason for PostgreSQL to do the same thing.
If people want to write code that will work on multiple databases,
they should of course avoid using any SQL reserved words for anything
other than their reserved purposes. But there is no reason for the
database system to unilaterally shove that down everyone's throat. It
is very easy to overdo the idea of protecting users from themselves.
