How can I get a listing of all the MySQL reserved words?

To get a full listing of MySQL reserved words, download the source and
look at sql/lex.h

If the reserved word is just a function name, you can have it as a
column name, but not a table name. If the reserved word is a part of
SQL, you are in big trouble -- you cannot have it anywhere in any name.
