How to fix ERROR 1103: Incorrect table name in MySQL

SELECT * FROM 'users';
SELECT * FROM "orders";

SELECT * FROM `users`;
SELECT * FROM `orders`;

CREATE TABLE `users `;      -- trailing space
CREATE TABLE ` products`;    -- leading space
SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1;  -- hidden space in name

const tableName = userInput.trim();
const query = `SELECT * FROM \`${tableName}\``;

SELECT * FROM order;
CREATE TABLE group (id INT);

SELECT * FROM `order`;
CREATE TABLE `group` (id INT);

-- Spaces require backticks:
SELECT * FROM `user profiles`;

-- Or replace with underscores:
SELECT * FROM user_profiles;

-- Dynamic names with special chars:
const safeTableName = userInput.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9_]/g, '_');
const query = `SELECT * FROM \`${safeTableName}\``;

SELECT LENGTH('my_very_long_table_name_that_exceeds_sixty_four_characters_limit') as name_length;

-- Too long (70+ chars):
SELECT * FROM `user_authentication_logs_with_detailed_tracking_information_2025`;

-- Fixed (under 64 chars):
SELECT * FROM `user_auth_logs_2025`;
-- Or with alias:
SELECT * FROM `user_authentication_logs_detailed_2025` AS ual;

const tableName = generateTableName(); // from variable or function
console.log('Table name:', tableName);

const query = `SELECT * FROM \`${tableName}\``;
db.query(query).catch(err => {
  console.error('Query:', query);
  console.error('Error:', err.message);
});

table_name = generate_table_name()
print(f"Table name: '{table_name}'")
print(f"Repr: {repr(table_name)}")  # Shows hidden whitespace
