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 characters such as - and space. Will it also allow for all other non-alphanumeric characters such as / and * and >, etc.?
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.
