Hi Robin!
eg CREATE foo (bar.bad double) Produces a table: CREATE TABLE foo ( bad double default NULL ) TYPE=MyISAM;
The 'bar' part is totally ogne.
Yep but the dot is a valid MySQL character for columns names!
BTW I would prefer an error be displayed rather than a silent change in this area. But it's just my opinion.

Only if escaped with ``, does NOT conform to the standard pattern of accepted names. By (ab)using the `` mechanism, you can have some wild names, eg: SELECT tea from `I'm a little teapot,`.`short and stout`;

I would say that this should be detected as an error as well. Ideally as close to input as possible. So forms where a column/table name is entered should detected it. I think the should also enforce the MySQL name restrictions: ([a-zA-Z0-9_]*)[a-zA-Z_]([a-zA-Z0-9_]*) Or even the more strict ANSI name restrictions, due to a few problems with the MySQL name restrictions: [a-zA-Z_]([a-zA-Z0-9_]*)
