In MySQL queries, how important is it to put backticks around a table name. Does it have something to do with security? Are MySQL injection attacks possible through the table name if the table name is created dynamically in PHP based on user inputs?
The backticks help you from accidentally using a name that is a reserved word in SQL for example. Take a table named “where”, it’s a stupid name for a table I agree, but if you wrap it in backticks it will work fine.
