Re: Data layer migration from MSSQL

I think the grammer should help the parser to determine what you mean when
the token ORDER is seen.

for example in a select statement...

Syntax:
SELECT expression [, ...]
...
[ FROM from_item [, ...] ]
[ WHERE condition ]
...
[ ORDER BY expression [ ASC | DESC | USING operator ]

keywords (or reserved words) should not be placed in quotes because the
parser relies on them to steer ...

Cheers
