The words in Table 5-1 are reserved by Adaptive Server as keywords (part of SQL command syntax). They cannot be used as names of database objects such as databases, tables, rules, or defaults. They can be used as names of local variables and as stored procedure parameter names.
To find the names of existing objects that are reserved words, use sp_checkreswords in Reference Manual: Procedures.
