count (*), fails, count(*) works, how do I fix it?

Migrating an application from Oracle to mysql, now I can change much of the code base, but there are some parts that are off limits, the place I encounter issues is that the off limit code is using count (*), where there is a space between the count and the (*), now mysql needs count(*), no space. Is there a way around this, all other DBs I've tried Oracle,DB2,MS SQL all support count_(*) where _ is a space, but mysql does not. Is there a fix for this simple yet very annoying error?


Thanks,
