### Name Restrictions After Escaping
To support more flexible table or column names, new escape character "`" is introduced in TDengine to avoid the conflict between table name and keywords and break the above restrictions for table name. The escape character is not counted in the length of table name.

With escaping, the string inside escape characters are case sensitive, i.e. will not be converted to lower case internally.
