When issuing commands through the terminal (in Mac OS 10.3) to MySQL, I
understand that if you surround a variable with "\\`" it will allow for

I am confused by this message. For example:


The Mac OS X Terminal program doesn't speak to MySQL.  MySQL client
programs speak to the MySQL server.

What kind of variable are you referring to?

What does it mean to surround a variable with "\\`"?

What do you mean by "allow for characters such as - and space"?
The variable will allow for - and space?


Maybe you could be more specific about what it is that you're trying to accomplish.
