Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/ and the instructions on
how to report a bug at http://bugs.mysql.com/how-to-report.php

FORCE is a keyword, so to use it as an identifier, you'll
need to quote it within backticks as `force`.  See:
