Failing create table in Redshift

I pgdumped a redshift table and I am trying to restore it. however, I get an error when restoring. I've even attempted to run the create table command manually and it produces an error. I can't figure out what is wrong. Thanks.

    count bigint,
    error_message character varying(1024),
    unlimited_redemption boolean,
    push_notification_flags character varying(60),
    weekend_3d_freq_over_8w double precision,

    automatic_product_qty boolean DEFAULT false,

    control_bool boolean
);

This is the error I receive.

tag is a reserved word in Amazon Redshift according to their online manual.

You can force it by double-quoting:

...
"tag" character varying(50),
...

But then you have to always double-quote that column name. The cleaner solution is to avoid reserved words as identifiers.

Not sure how you produced that dump with an unquoted tag as column name. Maybe using a version of pg_dump that doesn't match the database version?
