For creating a table with such kinds of names we must have to use quote character. The quotes can be single or double depends upon ANSI_QUOTES SQL mode. If this mode is disabled then the identifier quote character is the backtick (“`”). Consider the following example in which we created a table named ‘select’ −mysql> Create table `a^b`(`a^b` int); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.19 sec) mysql> Create table "a^g"("a^g" int); ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '"a^g" ("a^g" ...

As we know that a query consists of MySQL statements followed by a semicolon. We can enter multiple MySQL statements, separated by semicolons, on a single line.

Consider the following example −mysql> Explain Employee; +-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+------------------+ | Field | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra            | +-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+------------------+ | ID    | int(11)     | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment   | | ...
