Issues creating tables with InfiniDB

Question

I am attempting to create this table in InfiniDB:

CREATE TABLE dimension.date (
  date_id int(8), -- 20120512
  `date` date, -- 2012-05-12
  day tinyint, -- 12
  day_of_week tinyint, -- 6 (sunday being 0)
  weekday varchar(10), -- Saturday
  week tinyint,
  month tinyint,
  month_name varchar(20),
  quarter tinyint,
  year smallint
) ENGINE=infinidb;

and it is providing me with this error:

Error Code: 138. The syntax or the data type(s) is not supported by InfiniDB. Please check the InfiniDB syntax guide for supported syntax or data types.

Yet this table can be created without issues:

CREATE TABLE dimension.time (
  time_id smallint(4),
  time_12 char(4), -- e.g. 12:15
  time_24 char(4), -- e.g. 00:15
  hour tinyint,
  minute tinyint,
  period char(2) -- AM or PM
) ENGINE=infinidb;

I even tried creating this but it generated the same error as above:

CREATE TABLE dimension.date (date_id int(8)) ENGINE=infinidb;

Any ideas?

InfiniDB is not able to create a field called 'date', if you try

   CREATE TABLE dimension.date (
      date_id int(8), -- 20120512
      date_ date, -- 2012-05-12
      day tinyint, -- 12
      day_of_week tinyint, -- 6 (sunday being 0)
      weekday varchar(10), -- Saturday
      week tinyint,
      month tinyint,
      month_name varchar(20),
      quarter tinyint,
      year smallint
    ) ENGINE=infinidb;

and

CREATE TABLE dimension.`date_` (date_id int(8)) ENGINE=infinidb;

everything must work just fine.
