syntax issue mysql in bash script
I'm running mysql in a bash script

mysql <<EOF
query
EOF

one query is like this:
Code:
UPDATE $dbname.$prefix"config" SET  value = $var WHERE  "$prefix"config.name =  'table colname';

with variable
but it's giving an error
i'm not sure what to put for
Code:
"$prefix"config.name


the table name is like
prefix_config
where that is one word
and name is a field name in that table


i'm not sure about the syntax, does anyone know the problem? thanks!
