Database Reserved Words

PowerSchool leverages Oracle, the leading relational database management solution for enterprise applications. Oracle is an SQL-based database. SQL is a standard language that many applications use to communicate with database management systems. The PowerSchool application is written in Java and translates web requests to standard SQL statements that are sent to Oracle for processing.

The following words are reserved by Oracle. That is, they have a special meaning to Oracle and cannot be redefined. For this reason, you cannot use them to name database extensions.
