Using reserved words in column names

by

You can still use key if you want to. Just wrap it with backtick,

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users
(
    `key` INT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    username VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
);

but as an advise, refrain from using any reserved keyword to avoid future problems. :)
