Is it illegal to include spaces in a table name or column name?
I do have a problem with mysqldump which doesn't include the
` character and thereby prevent me to restore databases with
tablenames / column names with spaces.
PS: DROP TABLE `Table Name` does work. Just remember
that you have to use the character ` and not ´ or ' which gave me
some problems in the beginning.
