lj syntax

Why must we use the back tick when creating the keyed table when we don't have to use the back tick when writing other queries up to this point. For example:

`date xkey weather 

vs

select maxtemp by date from weather

Hi Michael,

In your second statement you're using qSql and you don't need the backtick on column names within a qSQL query.

Your first statement you're just using standard q.

Hope that helps,
