Hi
I am using MySQL command prompt & I try to create a database called only "65" with the create database command,but it is giving the following error-
"ERROR 1064: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 '65'at line 1; "
I am using Apache server (XAMPP) and using shell of XAMPP.
Then I also tried creating database with the name '0605' but same error as above is what i am getting.
Last when I tried 06_05 as the database name it worked .
Now my question is why was i getting the error while creating the database with pure Numerals as name?
what is the naming conventions? Can only numbers be not used to create a database?
