When to use single quotes, double quotes, and backticks in MySQL

Question

I am trying to learn the best way to write queries. I also understand the importance of being consistent. Until now, I have randomly used single quotes, double quotes, and backt

Answer 1

Single quotes should be used for string values like in the VALUES() list.

Backticks are generally used to indicate an identifier and as well be safe from accidentally using the reserved keywords.

In combination of PHP and MySQL, double quotes and single quotes make your query writing time so much easier.
