Description
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.

here's a patch
#2
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.
#4
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
#5
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 and 4.1.1. 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
#7
I'll submit a patch later today to use the word 'nodes' in block - along with the database upgrade path.

Here is the patch to block.module
