title: mysqldump database with whitespace in database name
body: <p>I'm constructing a backup script for usage on some servers. The problem is that I have a database that contains whitespace, <code>" aa_something_something"</code>. This is probably a mistake in the setup, but I don't have enough information to make a qualified decision of removing it yet, so I'm just going to include it into the backup.</p>
  
  <p>This is my current mysqldump call:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysqldump -B $db -u$DB_USER -p$DB_PASS --skip-lock-tables 2&gt;&gt; $ERROR_LOG_FILE
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As the space is in the beginning, mysqldump thinks I want to backup <code>"aa_something_something"</code> instead of <code>" aa_something_something"</code>. Is there anyway to escape spaces inside variables? I tried <code>'</code> and <code>"</code>, but it didn't work.</p>
