Description

Hello,

If a plugin contains a create table statement in ext_tables.sql, in which a field is named 'alter' (german for "age"), Typo3 silently failes to create that table.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Put below (or a similar) statement in the ext_tables.sql and install the plugin
(This is a valid SQL Statement and works if executed manually, also queries to that statement work if executed manually)
2) install the plugin
3) check if table is created

#
# Table structure for table 'tx_mymodel_domain_model_xyz'
#
CREATE TABLE `tx_invngtr_domain_model_xyz` (
  `uid` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `pid` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `alter` int(4) unsigned not null,
  `tstamp` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `crdate` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `cruser_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `deleted` tinyint(4) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `hidden` tinyint(4) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `starttime` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `endtime` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `t3ver_oid` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `t3ver_id` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `t3ver_wsid` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `t3ver_state` tinyint(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `t3ver_label` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `t3ver_stage` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `t3ver_count` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `t3ver_tstamp` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `t3ver_move_id` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `sys_language_uid` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `l10n_parent` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `l10n_diffsource` mediumblob,
  PRIMARY KEY (`uid`),
  KEY `parent` (`pid`),
  KEY `t3ver_oid` (`t3ver_oid`,`t3ver_wsid`),
  KEY `language` (`l10n_parent`,`sys_language_uid`)
);

Expected Result: The Table gets created if i install the plugin

Actual Result: The Table is missing after installing the plugin, no errors displayed anywhere

Addition:
The same statement works if i replace "alter" by "age"; The table gets created in this case.

It would be much better if you don't use keywords and reserved words for fields. How about to use "age" or maybe "das_alter" instead of "alter"?

Have a look at: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/keywords.html

I'd argue that it should not silently fail, but I still want TYPO3 to fail here.
Using reserved words are a problem, and even though MySQL et all give you a way around this using backticks, this will fail on other database systems.

I agree with Mathias Schreiber,
it's not a problem to fail if reserved keywords are used as column name.

(For that matter, theres no error if you have an actual syntax error in the sql, too. Neither visual, nor in the php-error log or the typo log.)

While above case, as well as having syntax errors, is something you should avoid in general, some information while something fails would save lots of time looking for the place where and why it fails.

For me, i simply changed the column name to a non-reserved keyword everywhere and was fine with it; The situation occured because i had a non-typo table and wrapped the typo fields around to use it in an extention.

The error occurs in 7.6 only. With the introduction of doctrine dbal the field names are escaped by default. The patch introduces a new exception type that is caught during upload / installation of an extension. I didn't tested the error for an installation of a TER extension.
