Are there any advantages/disadvantages to using and of the ` " or ' punctuation symbols in MySQL queries? I usually only put them around variables (after being sanitized, of course):INSERT INTO places (country, city) VALUES ('$country', '$city') Any thoughts on the issue? Thanks.
Single quotes are supported in any db (mysql, postgres, sqlite etc etc) - so use them. No idea if double quotes are widely supported.
A backtick (`) on the other hand is a mysql-ism. It allows you to use keywords as field names (eg `index`) amongst other things (including quoting strings).
