[BUG] JSQLParser 5.3 : MySQL : Cannot parse DROP COLUMN where "type" is the column name #2447

Description

@minleejae

Failing SQL Feature:

  • Cannot parse ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN command where type is the column name
  • TYPE is a non-reserved keyword in MySQL 8.0 (see MySQL keyword list), so ALTER TABLE nullable_tbl DROP COLUMN type; is valid MySQL syntax without any quoting

SQL Example:

ALTER TABLE nullable_tbl DROP COLUMN type;

fails with:

net.sf.jsqlparser.parser.ParseException: Encountered unexpected token: "type" "TYPE"
    at line 1, column 38.

Was expecting one of:

    "IF"
    "NAME"
    <S_IDENTIFIER>
    <S_QUOTED_IDENTIFIER>

while the same identifier parses fine in other contexts:

SELECT type FROM nullable_tbl;                  -- OK
ALTER TABLE nullable_tbl DROP COLUMN `type`;    -- OK (quoted)

Software Information:

  • JSQLParser 5.3 (also reproducible with current master: KeywordOrIdentifier() accepts K_NAME | K_NEXT | K_VALUE | K_PUBLIC | K_STRING | K_DATA but not K_TYPE)
  • MySQL
