I thought the Rails DB adapters quoted identifiers precisely so name clashes of this sort wouldn't occur on the DB side. > Perhaps if different DB software was used it wouldn't be a > problem? I'm not experienced enough to say one way or another. I doubt that the issue is on the DB side, but if is, I don't think switching will do it. I think "references" as a keyword is in the SQL standard, so it's probably reserved in every SQL DBMS that supports foreign keys.
