How to escape back ticks

Question

MySQL requires tables that shadow reserved words to be back ticked. I have a table Role which is a reserved word, but I have already put my query in back ticks so I can write it over multiple lines (this is a toy query, large ones will not fit on one line).

How do I escape the back ticks?

Here is my code:

dbmap := db.InitDb()  var roles []entities.Role query :=     ` << Difficult to see with SO's code editor widget, but here is a back tick SELECT * FROM `Role` <<< Needs escaping `  << Difficult to see, but here is a back tick  _, err := dbmap.Select(&roles, query, nil) if err != nil {     panic(err) }  fmt.Println(roles) 

Answer 1

You cannot escape backticks inside backticks, but you can do:

dbmap := db.InitDb()  var roles []entities.Role query := ` SELECT * FROM ` + "`Role`"  _, err := dbmap.Select(&roles, query, nil) if err != nil {     panic(err) }  fmt.Println(roles)
