Here's a messy hack that would let you use your column names like
'a35#70' to select and insert.
Set up a table like this:
col1 a35#70
col2 a35#71
col3 a35#72
...
Then make a routine in your middleware that select * from this
table and returns the results in a named array or hash array
(i.e. in perl: $col{'a35#70'} returns 'col1').
Now you can reference the legal column names using your funny
column names in any sql statement using this hash:
select $col{'a35#70'} from data_table
and/or
insert into data_table ( $col{'a35#70'} ) values ( )

Subject: RE: Must use '#' in fieldnames
if you just need to call your field a35#70
for retrieval purposes
why don't you call it something else and alias it in your select
statements.
select col1 as 'a35#70' from test;
if this doesn't help perhaps explain why you absolutely need your
field
named a35#70.
it will make it easier to find you a work around.

Subject: Must use '#' in fieldnames
Hello everybody,
I have to create a table on a MySQL-Server with fieldnames like
a35#70.
if I ty it that way
create table test (
a35#70 char (70));
on the mysql - prompt, the creation fails. Even brackets like in
MsSQL
or '`' doesn't help.
Can anybody tell me what to do?
thank
Dirk
