Raw query with named substitution parameters gets quoted parameters

I’m using sequelize to perform a simple raw query:

    var queryStr = 'SELECT * FROM :tableName WHERE :deletionColumn > 0 LIMIT :limit;';

    return self.connection.query(queryStr, {
        replacements: {
            tableName: self.name,
            deletionColumn: self.options.deletionColumn,
            limit: self.options.limit
        }
    }).then(function (rowsToDelete) {
        _.each(rowsToDelete, function (row) {
            log.debug('Preparing to delete row: ', row);
        });
    });

The resulting query however, is (from the sequelize logs):

Executing (default): SELECT * FROM 'test' WHERE 'deleted' > 0 LIMIT 421;

The generated query is invalid (table name must not be quoted).

Are there any options I can pass that’ll disable the quoting? I’m using MySQL 5.6 here.

Almost 7 years and still nothing … Any update on this apart from the cricket in the background?

Yeah… this is a super old thread, but NOT having this actually eliminates me from being able to use this node module. This is a feature available in basically every other module out there and they mostly all use the same syntax too.

? - params ?? - table / column names

Sure, I could hack around in my code to fix this, but why should I when I can use another node module that won’t force me too? This is a missing feature!

Are you open to allowing a PR for this?
