There was a "TYPES" field added to the BLOCKS table. MySQL does not like
this; "types" is considered a reserved word. (MySQL-server-4.1.0-0) The
field name needs to be changed to something else.

Changing Status to patch.
I guess we didn't catch this - the field wasn't orginally called types.
 Good eye.

I suggest we name this field 'nodes'.  Also, we'll need an upgrade path
for those who are running CVS HEAD.

I'm a bit confused by this. The word "types" doesn't show up here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/reserved-words.html

I remembered seeing it here:  http://drupal.org/node/2497  If this is
incorrect, then the documentation needs to be changed.
But all in all, nodes isn't a bad idea - I can submit a patch along
with the upgrade path if 'types' is indeed a reserved word in either
mySQL or pgSQL.

"TYPES" /is/ a reserved word in mysql 4.1.0 [1] and 4.1.1 [2]. it
doesn't show up at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/reserved-words.html because it isn't
reserved anymore since some point release later. it isn't even
documented in the mysql changelog that it has ever been a reserved word
...
once again the suggestion to get rid of sql reserved words issues once
and for all [3]

I'll submit a patch later today to use the word 'nodes' in block - along
with the database upgrade path.
