    Description

      OTHERS can not be used as unquoted identifier in MariaDB 10.3+ when sql_mode is set to ORACLE:

      openxs@fc29 maria10.3]$ bin/mysql -uroot --socket=/tmp/mariadb.sock test
      Reading table information for completion of table and column names
      You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

      This is NOT documented in the KB (see https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/reserved-words/#oracle-mode).

      So, intil OTHERS is removed from the list of reserved words (see MDEV-10485) we should document it as being reserved.
