When I have a table named with numbers I cant add posts to the table.
You cant press the edit button. And you cant add posts eather.

Hi,

It may be best to avoid numbers as identifiers, see the MySQL reference manual at [dev.mysql.com]

It says: "It is recommended that you do not use names of the form Me or MeN, where M and N are integers. For example, avoid using 1e or 2e2 as identifiers, because an expression such as 1e+3 is ambiguous. Depending on context, it might be interpreted as the expression 1e + 3 or as the number 1e+3."

Using just numbers may make identifiers like table names even more ambiguous and confuse the database engine :-)
