Description:
MySQL Workbench will allow you to name a table group even though that is a sql reserved word. 

How to repeat:
Create a new table in the model and name it group

Code generated by Workbench in this case will work:
-- -----------------------------------------------------
-- Table `mydb`.`group`
-- -----------------------------------------------------
CREATE  TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mydb`.`group` (
  `id` INT NOT NULL ,
  `c1` VARCHAR(45) NULL ,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`) )
ENGINE = InnoDB;

because reserved word is quoted, so it's not a bug IMHO, but it would be a nice feature to warn about reserved word used.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.1.3 release, and here's the changelog entry:

MySQL Workbench would allow a table group to be renamed as a reserved MySQL
keyword.

Thank you for the bug report.
