Ingo Bürk commented on FLINK-23019:
-----------------------------------

I find this particularly cumbersome with the default catalog, because the 
default database (by default) is called "default", which needs to be escaped.

> Avoid errors when identifiers use reserved keywords

>             Project: Flink
>          Issue Type: Improvement

>            Reporter: Timo Walther

> We add more and more keywords and built-in functions with special meaning to 
> SQL. However, this could be quite annoying for users that have columns named 
> like a keyword. E.g. {{timestamp}} or {{current_timestamp}}.
> We should investigate if we can do better and avoid forcing escaping with 
> backticks. IIRC  Calcite also offers functionalities for that.
