MySQL
I have back slashes stored in mysql.
I want to remove backslash '\'. So, I run query like
UPDATE table_name set col_name = replace(col_name, "Equipe d\'Olivier", "Equipe d'Olivier");
More intrestingly, even if I query something like
Select * from table_name where column_name = "Equipe d\'Olivier"
It returns row even with "Equipe d'Olivier" as well
I could not get any idea on this. How can I replace or remove that backslash
Your last query
mysql> select table_name from tables as a left join (select distinct table_name from tables as b) on a.table_name!=b.table_name;
ERROR 1248 (42000): Every derived table must have its own alias
fails because the as b must be outside the parentheses like this
mysql> select table_name from tables as a left join (select distinct table_name from tables) as b on a.table_name!=b.table_name;
Your method 2 failed
mysql> select count(table_name) as num, table_name from tables group by table_name where num > 1;
because the group by table_name must be last like this
mysql> select count(table_name) as num, table_name from tables where num > 1 group by table_name;
Perhaps you should start with a GROUP BY ... HAVING query like this
SELECT table_name,COUNT(1) table_count
FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_schema NOT IN
('information_schema','performance_schema','mysql')
GROUP BY table_name HAVING COUNT(1) > 1;
This will definitely give all tables whose name appears in multiple databases
Form that as a subquery and join it to gather all databases the table appears in
SELECT
A.table_name,
GROUP_CONCAT(B.table_schema) TheTableAppearsInTheseDatabases
FROM
(
SELECT table_name,COUNT(1) table_count
FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_schema NOT IN
('information_schema','performance_schema','mysql')
GROUP BY table_name HAVING COUNT(1) > 1
) A INNER JOIN information_schema.tables B
USING (table_name) GROUP BY A.table_name;
Please notice that I use INNER JOIN rather than LEFT JOIN because it will really form a Cartesian product (2704 X 2704) and then perform comparisons.
I know this works because I tried it out in MySQL 5.5.12 on my Windows7 machine

Give it a Try !!!
I suspect (with a high degree of of confidence) that the / isn't considered a "word" character. If that is the case, then Fine Tuning MySQL Full Text Search in the manual explains how to accomplish what you're wanting to do.
If you want to change the set of characters that are considered word characters, you can do so in several ways, as described in the following list. After making the modification, you must rebuild the indexes for each table that contains any FULLTEXT indexes. Suppose that you want to treat the hyphen character ('-') as a word character. Use one of these methods...
The second option offered there is probably the simplest, since you can apparently just edit the Character Definition Array in the appropriate XML file -- assuming you can use a one-byte character set such as latin1 for this column of this table. If you need utf8 or anything else multibyte, it apparently means recompiling the server from source after customizing the source to your specific needs.

Try replacing double-quotes
"by single-quotes', and use a double back-slash.\\db<>fiddle here
