Use of [] square-brackets to enclose table/column names

[Doug Johnston]

I am trying to connect into a MySQL schema via an existing application. That application allows you to specify a connection string which I was able to implment ... the connection now works.

Unfortunately, the application includes the use of [] (square brackets) to enclose table and column names when interacting with the MySQL tables ... it's hard-coded into the application so, I can't change that.

As you know, MySQL can be configured to use `, " or '.

Does anyone know of a MySQL configuration parameter that would allow me to specify that this MySQL schema should use [] instead? In all the reading I've done so far, I fear the answer is no.

Thank you for anything you can offer.
