Hi, does someone remember why we have two lists:

$PMA_SQPdata_reserved_word $PMA_SQPdata_forbidden_word

referring both to the MySQL reserved words list!

Popping my head in as the person that originally wrote much of the parser+highlighter code ;-).

Reserved words originally referred to keywords that got highlighted specially, while forbidden words were those that the MySQL parser would throw an error on.

All forbidden words are reserved, but not all reserved words are forbidden.

reserved & forbidden => always highlight as keyword reserved & !forbidden => highlight as intelligently !reserved & forbidden => invalid state
