Escaping reserved keywords
ColdFusion has a list of reserved keywords, which are typically part of the SQL language and are not normally used for
names of columns or tables. To escape a reserved keyword for a column name or table name, enclose it in brackets.
Important: Earlier versions of ColdFusion let you use some reserved keywords without escaping them.
Examples
Query of Queries supports the following SELECT statement examples:
SELECT [from] FROM parts;
SELECT [group].firstname FROM [group];
SELECT [group].[from] FROM [group];
Query of Queries does not support nested escapes, such as in the following example:
SELECT [[from]] FROM T;
