undeletable table in MySQL?

[Freston]

Help?

A sed mishap prior to a database import left me with a table name with, eh, well, this:

mysql> show tables;
+-------------------+
| Tables_in_someday |
+-------------------+
| day20101016       |
| day20101017);     |
+-------------------+

I've corrected the sed mishap and imported the database the way it was intended

mysql> show tables;
+-------------------+
| Tables_in_someday |
+-------------------+
| day20101016       |
| day20101017);     |
| day20101017       |
+-------------------+

But I can't seem to drop the table day20101017); because no matter how I seem to escape it it errors.

Did you try

DELIMITER //
DROP TABLE `day20101017);`//
DELIMITER ;
