mysql 表名 特殊字符,MySQL表名称中的特殊字符

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 '',

`startDateTime` DATETIME NOT NULL default '',

`endDateTime` DATETIME NOT NULL default '',

PRIMARY KEY (`aa`)

) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

Then tried to insert with the query:

INSERT INTO e! (showname, startDateTime, endDateTime) VALUES('E! News ', '2012-05-03 19:00:00', '2012-05-03 20:00:00')

And it errors due to the ! in the table name, I'm assuming ! is a special character in mysql. I tried to escape it but the query still failed.

So, can I have special characters like ! or & in the table name? If yes, then I probably have to encode them somehow?

Thanks.

Quote your ambiguous or "special" table names with a back tick:

INSERT INTO `e!` ...

Or better, don't use special characters in table names to avoid such problems.
