If your table name or column name are any reserved words then you need to use quotes around table name and column name in a MySQL query. You need to use backticks around table name and column name. The syntax is as follows:
SELECT *FROM `table` where `where`=condition;
Here is the query to create a table without quotes with reserved words. You will get an error since they are predefined reserved words. The error is as follows:
mysql> create table table -> ( -> where int -> ); ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'table ( where int )' at line 1
Let us now include quotes around the name of the table and column since ‘table’ and ‘where’ are reserved words. Here is the query with quotes:
mysql> create table `table` -> ( -> `where` int -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.55 sec)
Insert records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows:
mysql> insert into `table`(`where`) values(1); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into `table`(`where`) values(100); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.26 sec) mysql> insert into `table`(`where`) values(1000); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
Display a specific record from the table with the help of where condition. The query is as follows:
mysql> select *from `table` where `where`=100;
The following is the output:
+-------+ | where | +-------+ | 100 | +-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
