Rails - Jul 2006 - reserved words

I''ve seen this topic has been discussed a couple of times.  However,
I''m
wondering if a method exists in rails to test a name against the reserved
words listed on the wiki?

Just wanted to check before I write this myself (and type in all of those
names -- including PostgreSQL).

To explain the application:

I''ve written a project that manages ldap data.  On a fresh install,
there is
very small interface.  Mainly just a System menu with the following options:

Folders:
  This allows to create high level menu items, this is a tree structure so
you can nest folders to generate sub menus.

Entries:
  This defines what the data in the system.  You add an entry to a folder.
It creates tables base of off the user entries with various column type
options. A lot of other stuff here, too much to talk about now.  This is the
bulk of the system.  How you create entries defines the lists and edit
screens as well.

LDAP:
  A simple config screen for setting up which ldap server you are working
with and a management area that lists what changes are to be done (with
ability to cancel, etc..).


So, there are no model files for the entries.  They are created dynamically
with the following lib:

module Stone
  module Dynamic
    class << self
      def klass(table_name)
        tname = class_name_from_table(table_name)
        const_missing(tname)
      rescue NameError
        define_klass(table_name)
      end

      def objeck(table_name)
        klass(table_name).new
      end

      private
        def class_name_from_table(table_name)
          Inflector.camelize(table_name)
        end

        def define_klass(table_name)
          tname = class_name_from_table(table_name)
          class_def = <<-end_eval
            class #{tname} < ActiveRecord::Base
              set_table_name(''#{table_name}'')
            end
          end_eval
          eval(class_def, TOPLEVEL_BINDING)
          const_get(tname)
        end
    end
  end
end


I need to somehow validate against reserved words.  Any suggestions?
Anything wrong with the Dynamic module?

Sorry for the long post,
andy
