DDL Keywords & Reserved Words

GSQL Reserved Words

The following words are reserved for use by the Data Definition Language (DDL). That is, a graph schema or loading job may not use any of these words for the name of a vertex type, edge type, graph name, tag, or attribute.

There is a separate list for Reserved Words in the Query Language. The compiler will reject the use of a reserved word as well as any word beginning with a reserved prefix as a user-defined identifier.
