Something like this would not work:

CREATE TABLE LovelyTable(

Join varchar(50)

)

SQL Server is generally very good at dealing with reserved keywords as column names but its a terrible practice. Column names like "Date" fails to describe your column correctly and leads to code that's more difficult to read, debug, improve, etc.

But this will work:

CREATE TABLE LovelyTable(

[Join] varchar(50)

);
