To set blank spaces in column names with MySQL, you can use the concept of backticks. Let us first create a table. Following is the query −
mysql> create table blankSpacesDemo -> ( -> `Student Id` int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> `Student Full Name` varchar(100) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.51 sec)
Following is the query to insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into blankSpacesDemo(`Student Full Name`) values('John Smith'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into blankSpacesDemo(`Student Full Name`) values('Carol Taylor'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into blankSpacesDemo(`Student Full Name`) values('David Miller'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
Following is the query to display all records from the table using a select statement −
mysql> select `Student Id`,`Student Full Name` from blankSpacesDemo;
Following is the output displaying blank space in column name “Student Full Name” −
+------------+--------------------+ | Student Id | Student Full Name | +------------+--------------------+ | 1 | John Smith | | 2 | Carol Taylor | | 3 | David Miller | +------------+--------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
