Hi,
    I'm using MySQL version 3.23.37 which works fine. However I am 
currently trying to convert a MS Access database to MySQL and some of 
the column names have embedded spaces i.e. "First Name". Now according 
to the manual MySQL supports quoting of identifiers (for the above 
reason), I cannot get it to work though.

MySQL is installed on Linux, and if I try to enter the following create 
table statement to the MySQL client, it objects to the first quote 
(either double or single quotes).
    CREATE TABLE TEST ('ID' INTEGER);
while
    CREATE TABLE TEST (ID INTEGER);
works as expected.

I must be doing something stupid :), but I can't see it.
