Reserved keywords

Percona uses reserved keywords, which define or manipulate a function or feature of the database. Add these words to the MySQL reserved keyword list when using Percona Server for MySQL.

If you must use a reserved keyword as an identifier, enclose the word in a set of backtick (`) symbols.

The following is a list of Percona-specific reserved keywords:

  • CLIENT_STATISTICS
  • CLUSTERING
  • COMPRESSION_DICTIONARY
  • EFFECTIVE
  • INDEX_STATISTICS
  • SEQUENCE_TABLE
  • TABLE_STATISTICS
  • THREAD_STATISTICS
  • USER_STATISTICS
