Hi,
Seems that everytime I use the word 'desc' I got an error. For example, this 
query:
SELECT code, desc FROM or_code_table WHERE tr = 'FORMAT' 
gave me
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "desc"

When I created the table I got the same error too. I got around that by 
creating the table using pgaccess instead of using psql console.

Is 'desc' a reserved key word of some kind ? Even if yes (like in mysql or 
oracle), the parser should understand the context in which it's mentioned. I 
don't remember I got that kind of error with mysql / oracle.

Here is the table:

lightcone=# \d or_code_table;
                Table "or_code_table"
  Column  |           Type           |   Modifiers   
----------+--------------------------+---------------
 code     | character varying(2)     | not null
 tr       | character varying(10)    | not null
 desc     | character varying(100)   | 
 mod_user | character varying(15)    | 
 mod_time | timestamp with time zone | default now()
Primary key: or_code_table_pkey


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

RDB
