Mysql Create Database with special characters in the name

Question

I want to create a database which name will have special characters in it. for example, (., - , _, @, #, $, %, &, *)

can anyone provide any output on this?

Answer 1

I would strongly recommend that you do not create databases with such names. But if you absolutely must, here are the restrictions:

• No identifier can contain ASCII NUL (0x00) or a byte with a value of 255.
• Database, table, and column names should not end with space characters.
• Database and table names cannot contain “/”, “\”, “.”, or characters that are not allowed in file names.

To create a database, you can do the following:

mysql> create database `really@strange*database$name`;
