SQL keywords in column names

Using SQL keyword in CreateTable statement ends with crash for SQLDelight. For example for this:

CREATE TABLE TEST (
Id INTEGER NOT NULL,
Action TEXT,
TestInt INTEGER
);

build fails with this:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:generateQaDebugSqlDelightInterface'.
test.sq line 3:0 - no viable alternative at input ',\r\nAction'

So I simply add “[]” around keyword, and it builds with success but column name generates with this brackets.

Example:

CREATE TABLE TEST (
Id INTEGER NOT NULL,
[Action] TEXT,
TestInt INTEGER
);

generates:

String TABLE_NAME = "TEST";

  String ID = "Id";

  String ACTION = "[Action]";

  String TESTINT = "TestInt";

  String CREATE_TABLE = ""
      + "CREATE TABLE TEST (\r\n"
      + "Id INTEGER NOT NULL,\r\n"
      + "[Action] TEXT,\r\n"
      + "TestInt INTEGER\r\n"
      + ")";

In my opinion String ACTION = "[Action]"; should be String ACTION = "Action";

For now every usage of cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ACTION) ends with java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: column '[Action]' does not exist

oh nevermind you’re saying the cursor doesn’t know about that column name so it errors. Gotchya. This would actually be a good case for the android tests #315 since the sqlite query works fine but the android bindings behave differently and require the string constant to not have braces

Ohh, that makes sense.

My use case is the former one. Found https://github.com/square/sqldelight/blob/master/ALPHA.md#migrations.
