[Rails] is "alias" reserved?

I''m playing with an online store....


I have an orders table which holds orders (pricing, statuses, etc).
An orderDetails table which holds detailed line items (itemNumbers, unit
prices, etc).

Each order can have multiple shipping addresses, so I also have
an addressbook table. Each orderDetail is tied to an addressbook entry
via the ordernumber and addressbook alias, but this doesn''t seem to
work
for me.

------
class OrderDetail < ActiveRecord::Base
set_table_name "orderDetails"
belongs_to :order, :foreign_key => ''orderNumber''
has_many :addressbooks, :finder_sql =>
      ''SELECT * '' +
      ''FROM addressbooks addr '' +
      ''WHERE addr.orderNumber = "#{orderNumber}"'' +
      ''AND addr.alias = "#{alias}"''
end
------

I try to access the addressbook of a specific orderDetail (line item)
and it barfs.

------

(eval):1:in `instance_eval'': compile error
(eval):1: syntax error
%@SELECT * FROM addressbooks addr WHERE addr.orderNumber =
"#{orderNumber}" AND addr.alias = "#{alias}"@

^
(eval):1: unterminated string meets end of file


------



Just wondering if the word "alias" is a reserved word
for either mysql or rails?

thanks!
