Database binary store schema is incompatible with MySQL 5.5

The DatabaseBinaryStore attempts to create a table with the following statement:

CREATE TABLE CONTENT_STORE (
  cid VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
  mime_type VARCHAR(255),
  ext_text VARCHAR(1000),
  usage INTEGER,
  usage_time TIMESTAMP,
  payload BLOB,
  primary key(cid)
)

However, "usage" is a reserved word in MySQL5, and therefore the table cannot be created. Additionally, no error message appears to be recorded in the log.
