Answer 1

Manually escaping the reserved keywords

If you are using JPA, you can escape with double quotes:

@Column(name = "\"open\"")

If you're using Hibernate native API, then you can escape them using backticks:

@Column(name = "`open`")

Automatically escaping reserved keywords

If you want to automatically escape reserved keywords, you can set to true the Hibernate-specific hibernate.globally_quoted_identifiers configuration property:

Yaml format

spring:
  jpa:
    properties:
      hibernate:
        globally_quoted_identifiers: true
