MySQL 1122: Incorrect table name.

What is MySQL 1122: Incorrect table name.

When encountering the error 1122: Incorrect table name in MySQL, the user should immediately execute the following actions for investigation:

Check the Query Syntax:

- Ensure that the table name in the query is spelled correctly and matches the actual table name in the database.

Verify Table Existence:

- Run `SHOW TABLES;` to list all tables in the current database to verify the existence of the table you are trying to access.

Check for Case Sensitivity:

- MySQL table names are case sensitive on some platforms (like Unix-based systems). Ensure the case matches. Use the exact case as shown in the `SHOW TABLES;` result.

Use Backticks Around Table Names:

- If the table name contains special characters or is a reserved keyword, enclose the table name in backticks (`) in your query. For example, ``SELECT * FROM `table-name`;``.

Confirm Current Database:

- Run `SELECT DATABASE();` to confirm you are operating in the correct database where the table exists.

Database and Table Collation Check:

- If applicable, check the database and table collation and character set by executing `SHOW CREATE DATABASE yourdatabasename;` and `SHOW CREATE TABLE yourtablename;`. Ensure they are compatible or as expected.

Check for Corrupted Tables:

- If you suspect the table might be corrupted, run a table check using `CHECK TABLE tablename;`. If issues are found, consider running a repair with `REPAIR TABLE tablename;`.By following these steps, the user can identify and possibly correct the issue leading to the "Incorrect table name" error in MySQL.
