<p>One of my columns is called <code>from</code>. I can't change the name because I didn't make it.
Am I allowed to do something like <code>SELECT from FROM TableName</code> or is there a special syntax to avoid the SQL Server being confused?</p>

Wrap the column name in brackets like so,
```
from
```
becomes [from].
```
```
select [from] from table;
```
```
It is also possible to use the following (useful when querying multiple tables):
```
```
select table.[from] from table;
```
```
