title: How to DROP a database with character '?' in its name?
body: <p>Just trying out ubuntu server on my pc and have been testing some commands including mysql. I'm not sure why phpMyAdmin permitted me to create a database like this 'testing?db'. I'm trying to drop this database via SSH but I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysql&gt; show databases
      -&gt; ;
  +--------------------+
  | Database           |
  +--------------------+
  | information_schema |
  | mysql              |
  | phpmyadmin         |
  | testing?db         |
  | testing_db         |
  | wp                 |
  +--------------------+
  6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
  
  mysql&gt; DROP DATABASE testing?db;
  ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '?db' at line 1
  mysql&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried creating a database with a '?' in it and it also gives me syntax error. via ssh.
  so how do I remove this database?</p>
