MySql and Parameters (Again...)

[Diego Guidi]

I have defined my problem...

<CODE>
// this string in in a a single line
string commandString = "CREATE TABLE ?pTable (ID BIGINT(20) AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL, SHAPE POINT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(ID), SPATIAL KEY (SHAPE)) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=1";

MySqlParameter pTable = new MySqlParameter("pTable", MySqlDbType.String);
pTable.Value = this.featureClass; // Value from my program: simply a string

command = new MySqlCommand(commandString, conn);
command.Parameters.Add(pTable);
Console.WriteLine(command.CommandText);
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
</CODE>

Parameter works correctly and ?pTable is modified to 'FeatureClass1' (name of my table), but the <'>characters in my command generates exception!!!
The same command without 'FeatureClass1' (using CREATE TEBLE FeatureClass1 ...) works correctly!

Any suggestions?
