SQL Tick marks not highlighting as a string

See original GitHub issue

Information

Language: SQL, MySQL
Plugins: none

Description

When using ` marks to surround a keyword, the word should be formatted as a string.

Adding a tick to this fixes the issue:

Prism.languages.sql = {
	'string': {
		pattern: /(^|[^@\\])("|'|`)(?:\\[\s\S]|(?!\2)[^\\]|\2\2)*\2/,
		greedy: true,
		lookbehind: true
	},
}

The code being highlighted incorrectly.

select
   `t`.`col1`, `t`.`col2`, `t`.`col3`, `t`.`col4` 
from
   `test_table` as `t`

just adding my own style (not sure if this is the best approach):

That’s the way to go. You can always change and extend Prism’s themes if they aren’t to your liking 😃

It’s an identifier, so I am somewhat against highlighting it differently from other identifiers. E.g. Foo and `Foo` are two different ways to refer to the same column/table/user. The only difference is that quoted identifiers support special characters, non-ASCII characters, and keywords. E.g. `Foo*`, `😊`, `SELECT`.

(There are also a few other languages that have quoted identifiers like this.)
