Question

I’m trying to pivot a table so I can output the data as a CSV. I need to do something like this:

SELECT .... t1.`column_one`, t1.`column_two`, ...

Problem is that some of the columns are expected to contain commas, single quotes, and double quotes.

Is there a way to make something like this work:

SELECT .... t1.`foo's, "bar"`, ...

The above doesn’t work. Suggestions?

Answer 1

I’ve tested and can confirm that the following definitely works:

SELECT `t1`.`foo's, "bar"` FROM `t1`;

The only thing I could suggest is to place the table name between ` (backtick) characters.
