Special Characters in MySQL Table Name

Question

I created a table as follows:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS \'e!\' (
`aa` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`showName` TEXT NOT NULL default \'\',
`star         


        

Answer 1

If you have whatever special requirements for the table identifiers, that means there is something wrong with your database architecture and/or with understanding database architecture.

You'd better correct these architectural mistakes instead of enforcing silly identifiers
