Benefits of using backtick (`) in MySQL queries?
They are called quoted identifiers and they tell the parser to handle the text between them as a literal string. They are useful for when you have a column or table that contains a keyword or space. For instance the following would not work:

CREATE TABLE my table (id INT);


But the following would:

CREATE TABLE `my table` (id INT);


Also, the following would get an error, because COUNT is a reserved keyword:

SELECT count FROM some_table


But the following would be parsed correctly:

SELECT `count` FROM some_table


I hope this helps you.
