Database Naming Problem

[barryp]

I've an SQL script which initialises my databases as required. This has been working fine. Now I have to create & use a database called 'Home+Away'
My script now fails

The lines in my sql file are

DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS `Home+Away`;
CREATE DATABASE `Home+Away`;
USE `Home+Away`;

The USE fails with the error

Unknown database "`Home+Away`"
I can see the database has been created by using phpMyAdmin.

Any suggestions welcome !

Barry

What is wrong ?
I have tried escaping the '+' with backslash to no avail.

Barry,

I'll try over lunch time on my pc, but I got to ask you, why put a + into the name, it's asking for grief !!
