Well, I would just bite the bullet and rename the table personally, but if
some requirement makes that impossible, I suppose I would try subclassing
Class::DBI::SQL::Transformer. This subclass should override the
_expand_table() method to put backticks around the table name if and only if
the table name is "Connection" (or some other MySQL reserved word). Then, in
my CDBI base class, add the following:

__PACKAGE__->sql_transformer_class('My::Class::DBI::SQL::Transformer');

where My::Class::DBI::SQL::Transformer is my subclass of
Class::DBI::SQL::Transformer.

This is uncharted territory, and I have no idea if that would work or not. I
think it should work though. Good luck.

Hope this helps,
