Description
I found a few inaccuracies in the reserved word manual page at https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/sql-structure/sql-language-structure/reserved-words –
Two entries on this page are not actually reserved words, at least in any server version I've tested:
- ST_COLLECT (> 11.8) - this is also mentioned (incorrectly) as being newly reserved in 12.3+ on https://mariadb.com/docs/release-notes/community-server/12.3/mariadb-12.3-changes-and-improvements but isn't actually reserved in 11.8, 12.0, 12.3, etc
deleted textMINUS (> 10.6.0) - think this was recently added to the page, I don't recall seeing it previously; in any case it isn't reserved in 10.6, 10.7, 12.3, or any other version in between that I've tried– apologies, missed that this was in the Oracle mode section only, please disregard
In a few other recent entries, the version-added information is confusing. For example is "> 12.2" supposed to mean 12.3+, or 12.2+? It's used inconsistently:
- OFFSET (> 10.6) became reserved in 10.6 and up
- ROW_NUMBER (> 10.7) became reserved in 10.7 and up
- VECTOR (> 11.6) became reserved in 11.7 and up
- CONVERSION (> 12.2) became reserved in 12.3 and up
- TO_DATE (> 12.2) became reserved in 12.3 and up
Perhaps this would be clearer as e.g. "12.3+" or "added in 12.3", instead of using greater-than?
Sorry for being so nitpicky here! My software has a reserved word linter so I use this page a lot...
