Are there any reserved words in SQLite?

I have a big database (veekun’s pokedex for those who know of it) and one table has a column named “order”. It’s for sorting purposes, and I’m trying to ORDER BY that column, but it is a problem since ORDER is, of course, a reserved word. The two options I see are

1. Rename this column (but I’d like to avoid modifying the database as much as possible)
2. Get around this somehow

So, in the case of 1, how would I go about renaming the column without messing up the database too much?
In the case of 2, I can’t imagine what I could do, but maybe there’s a trick I don’t know of to get around this.

I’m using SQLite and PHP.

Answer 1

you just need to surround keyword collisions in `backticks`
