I'm reposting this question, the online manual doesn't address that quetion: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/DROP_TABLE.html
Yet, it's a question asked by 3 different comments posted on the manaul page listed above. Also please post a solutons to the manual page the URL above.
It's addressed in the manual, but not on the DROP TABLE page, because it is not a DROP TABLE issue. The issue is: how can you refer to a table with a name that contains special characters?
The answer is described on the page that discussed legal names:
