Question

There is an error while i want to backup my database

A Database Error Occurred

Error Number: 1064

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual t         


        

Answer 1

You have to add quotes as your table name contains number. I think the following query will work.

SELECT * FROM `temp_01-01-000001`

Answer 2

You could edit line 132 of the file /system/database/drivers/mysql/mysql_utility.php

From:

$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM $table");

To:

$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM `$table`");
