if you just need to call your field a35#70
for retrieval purposes

why don't you call it something else and alias it in your select statements.

select col1 as 'a35#70' from test;

if this doesn't help perhaps explain why you absolutely need your field
named a35#70.

it will make it easier to find you a work around.

Subject: Must use '#' in fieldnames


Hello everybody,

I have to create a table on a MySQL-Server with fieldnames like a35#70.
if I ty it that way

create table test (
    a35#70 char (70));

on the mysql - prompt, the creation fails. Even brackets like in MsSQL
or '`' doesn't help.
Can anybody tell me what to do?

thank
Dirk
