Field Name 'order' clashes with mysql with Zend_Db_table_Abstract? - mysql

Question

unfortunately I created the table with a field name called order.
Is there a way to change the query builder to make sure the field name is encased in the ` (apostrophe's)
My query is as follows:
$select = $this->select();
$select->order('order DESC');
$select->where('order < ?', $row->menu_id);
$select->where('menu_id = ?', $row->menu_id);
The builder creates:
SELECT `menu_items`.*
FROM `menu_items`
WHERE (order < '1')
AND (menu_id = '1')
ORDER BY `order` DESC LIMIT 1
I would like it to create
SELECT `menu_items`.*
FROM `menu_items`
WHERE (`order` < '1')
AND (menu_id = '1')
ORDER BY `order` DESC LIMIT 1
thanks

I'm no expert but according to the docs
No quoting is applied to expressions given to the where() or orWhere() methods. If you have column names that need to be quoted, you must use quoteIdentifier() as you form the string for the condition.
There is an example of using quoteIdentifier() in the section "Adding Expression Columns":
$select = $db->select()
->from(array('p' => 'products'),
array('origin' =>
'(p.' . $db->quoteIdentifier('from') . ' + 10)')
);
So you need to do something like this:
$db = Zend_Db_Table::getDefaultAdapter();
$select = $this->select();
$select->order('order DESC');
$select->where($db->quoteIdentifier('order') . ' < ?', $row->menu_id);
$select->where('menu_id = ?', $row->menu_id);
Note that in the order() method,
column names are quoted as identifiers, unless they contain parentheses or are an object of type Zend_Db_Expr.
so you don't have to do anything special there.
