mysql query quote signs

I am a newbie to mysql. I am confused by the quotes signs.

In mysql query

Does it make any different between

CREATE DATABASE 'mydatabase';

and

CREATE DATABSE mydatabase

One with quote, the other without Also with Insert and other开发者_如何学C commands

Thanks

In your case, it makes no difference. (Except that you have a typo in the latter command with word DATABASE.) If you had used a reserved keyword as the database name, you would have had to quote it.
