I am generating tables from classes in .NET and one problem is a class may have a field name key which is a reserved mysql keyword. How do i escape it in a create table statement? (Note: The other problem below is text must be a fixed size to be indexed/unique)

create table if not exists misc_info (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,
key TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
value TEXT NOT NULL)ENGINE=INNODB;
