             Project: Cayenne
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Modeler
    Affects Versions: 3.0RC2
         Environment: Java JDK 6, Cayenne 3.0RC2, Tomcat 6.0.20, Ubuntu 9.10,

Cayenne modeler is a great tool, but it would be nice if it did not allow a 
user to use reserved words when creating a database table, warned about them or 
"renamed" them to safe alternatives with an _ or some other character.  

This isn't easy because each database has reserved words, but it would make 
life a whole lot nicer.

I just had an issue where I used a reserved word in a table and cayenne just 
kept spitting out vague errors on the insert statement when commitChanges() was 
called on the data content.  An alternative solution would be to use ` ` when 
referring to names when doing queries under mysql so that these words can be 
used.
