title: Escaping hyphens with the mysql commandline tool
body: <p>Is there a way to escape a hyphen with the mysql commandline tool?</p>
  
  <p>I basically need to do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysql  -hlocalhost -uuser -puser information_schema -e  "CREATE DATABASE foo-bar"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Using mysqladmin is not an option due to the framework I'm within.</p>
