Sorry William, but your moaning and groaning is way, way off base. It
is not our fault you
assumed that new key words would never get added to the product. I
would stay on
IB 6 for the next 10 years so you don't have to worry about new key words.

Second. One thing I hate hearing is that a programmer is too lazy to
type out a
field name that is more descriptive. Your laziness is going to cost you
or someone else
thousands of dollars. You deserve it.

And your real problem. You should make all your database objects have
an "_" (underline)
in the name. I have yet to see a key work with an underline in it.

FIRST_NAME, MIDDLE_INITIAL, LAST_NAME, NAME_SUFFIX.

You will almost be guaranteed that these will not be key words for the
next 100 years,
if you can handle the extra typing.
