[TxMt] snippets for MySQL; escaping "`"?

I'm about to embark on a lengthy and complex project (changing 30-odd
FileMaker tables into MySQL). Usually I use the (excellent) CocoaMySQL
for table creation but I thought I'd explore using snippets in TM...
Basically it works like a charm (create table, add date field, add
varchar, add int...), though I haven't tested it vs CocoaMySQL to see
which will be faster (as CMS offers more tweaking of the field
definitions). But I figure I can whack out the fields in TM then import
the whole .sql file into CMS for the tweaking, adding indexes, etc.
> CREATE TABLE textmate (
> textmate_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
> tm_user varchar(50) default NULL,
> user_no int(5) default NULL,
> user_email varchar(50) default NULL,
> entry_date date default NULL,
> PRIMARY KEY (textmate_id)
> ) ENGINE=InnoDB;
The one thing I can't manage to sort out is including e.g.
"`textmate_id`" since the "`" is used in the snippets to evoke a shell
command... I tried escaping with "\`" but that didn't work. Am I
missing something obvious?
In any case, it's clear that snippets can revolutionize coding :) Wish
I had more time to explore... embedding shell commands could be
fantastic...
