Thanks Helen,

I was certainly not demanding someone write me such a list, just
checking if there was one that I hadn't found. A colleague got
himself stuck by trying to use

select fieldname as role
from blah

I noticed there is a note saying that such a document is in future
plans if still required after 'Using Firebird'. I am willing to
assist in compiling the data but am curious as to whether the
reference to UFB means that someone else has already undertaken the
task.

There are a couple of things to consider, the version of FB a keyword
is introduced as reserved, the version it actually does something,
and the version it is released back into the wild. Possibly whether
it refers to a standard keyword defined in SQL (and year). Would
there be any need to go back prior to IB6?

It would probably be a table with keywords down the Y axis and a FB
version along the X. A code could be placed in the cell to determine
where it is reserved, implemented or released etc.
