Can we create a table with a space in name in MySQL?
To create a table with a space in the table name in MySQL, you must use backticks otherwise you will get an error.
Let us first see what error will arise by creating a table with a space in the name i.e. “Demo Table” table name below:
mysql> create table Demo Table
(
Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
EmployeeFirstName varchar(20),
EmployeeLastName varchar(20),
EmployeeAge int,
EmployeeSalary int,
EmployeeAddress varchar(200)
);
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your syntax; check the manual that corresponds
to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Table37
(
Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, EmployeeFirstName varchar(' at line 1 )Let us use the concept of backticks for table name to remove the error. The query to create a table with a space in MySQL is as follows:
mysql> create table `Demo Table37` ( Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, EmployeeFirstName varchar(20), EmployeeLastName varchar(20), EmployeeAge int, EmployeeSalary int, EmployeeAddress varchar(200) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.66 sec)
Above, we have set the table name with space surrounded by backtick symbol, therefore no error:
`Demo Table37`
