Selecting a column that is also a keyword in MySQL?
To select a column that is also a keyword in MySQL, you need to use backticks around the column name. As you know select is a keyword in MySQL, consider column name as select when creating a new table.
Let us create a table:
mysql> create table DemoTable (`select` varchar(100)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.53 sec)
Following is the query to insert some records in the table using insert command:
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Records');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('All Data');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Information');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.32 sec)Following is the query to display records from the table using select command:
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output:
+-------------+ | select | +-------------+ | Records | | All Data | | Information | +-------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to select a column that is also a keyword in MySQL:
mysql> select `select` from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output:
+-------------+ | select | +-------------+ | Records | | All Data | | Information | +-------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
