I see that I needed to RTFM. I never made it to the bottom of the query language reference web page, which has a clearly labeled list of reserved words, of which "timestamp" is one: http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/querylanguage.html#Reserved_Words My bad. Still, I think an error message like "reserved word used as column identifier" would be appropriate, rather than many lines of gobbledegook. -- Robert Brewer http://excitedcuriosity.wordpress.com PhD Student, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Computer Science Dept Research Assistant in Renewable Energy and Island Sustainability http://reis.manoa.hawaii.edu --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Visualization API" group.
