    Description

      In some cases, the parser treats keywords as identifiers near a dot character. Moreover, the behaviour depends on the presense of a space character between the dot and the identifier.

      SELECT t1.select FROM t1;
      

      ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 't1.select' in 'field list'
      

      Wrong. Should get a syntax error.

      SELECT t1. select FROM t1;
      

      ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'select FROM t1' at line 1
      

      Correct. Notice, the space after the dot.

      Correct. Notice, the space after the dot.
