    Description

      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.
