title: Is "type" a reserved word in mysql
body: <p>in <strong>notepad++</strong> <em>SQL language</em> it highlights the word "<strong>type</strong>" in a blue color but in <em>mysql</em> reserved word list/table* I can't find "<strong>type</strong>" in that</p>
  
  <p>If "<strong>type</strong>" is not a reserved word in <strong>mysql</strong> should I avoid the word "<strong>type</strong>" and which alternative word should I use.</p>
