title: Need alternative field names for these reserved words
body: <p>“type” and “class” are likely reserved or problematic words in C# and/or Ruby, two languages I may use to program against my new database schema in the future.</p>
  
  <p>So, in order to avoid potential conflicts with those languages, I’m looking for alternative names for these field names in my tables.</p>
  
  <p>In this case, it is from my Machines table, where I have:</p>
  
  <p>“class” field (values would be something like “manual” or “computerized”) </p>
  
  <p>and </p>
  
  <p>“type” field (values would be “lathe” or “mill”)</p>
  
  <p>I could call the fields “machineclass” and “machinetype”, but that is inconsistent with naming scheme in the rest of my schema (meaning, I do not re-use the table name in the field…  For instance, I use Machine.name, not Machine.machinename)</p>
  
  <p>Any thought on this madness?</p>
