Howard,

Also, I believe the quote string should be set properly. In htdocs/lib/xmldb/classes/generators/mysql/mysql.class.php there is a field     var $quote_string = '`';   // String used to quote names
which is set to the backtick. And from the looks of the forum post, the sql commands have the backtick for quoting.

Do you have any error logs from this upgrade?
Does the database have the field in it?

Cheers,

Hugh

Title:
  MySQL reserved words not handled properly

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Mahara versions 1.3.7 and latest 1.4 (at time of writing)

  The table notification_internal_activity adds the field 'from' at
  upgrade 2010042600. From is a reserved word in MySQL. I know that
  Mahara checks for reserved words and escapes them but.... (a) 'from'
  is not in the list of reserved words and (b) even if it was the
  correct quote character is the back-tick not the double-quote as used
  in Mahara. (see
  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/identifiers.html)
