I am trying to query a table that has field names with #
characters in them.
For example a table emp_earn has a field called FILE#
I need to do a query where FILE# = 1332, but anything I try
errors out.
I can't seem to even create a table
Hello Howell,
See URL: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Legal_names.html for the solution.
Basically enclose FILE# with `, e.g. where `FILE#` = 1332

Which version of MySQL are you using?
It works for me with version 4.0.15 as shown below:
mysql select version();

| version() |

| 4.0.15|

1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql create table temp (`FILE#` integer);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
