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)
