SQLITE create table error

Question

this is my code used to create table

 private static final String DATABASE_CREATE =
            "create table notes (_id integer primary key autoincrement,"
    + "title text not null, body text not null,email text not null,group text);";

the logcat shows:

GROUP is a reserved keyword. Use a different name.

You should use exact spaces in the DATABASE_CREATE command.

Example :

private static final String DATABASE_CREATE = "create table " + TABLE_COMMENTS + "(" + COLUMN_ID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " + COLUMN_COMMENT + " TEXT NOT NULL" + ");";
