Passing table name as a variable in Mysql query

Hello Experts,

I am trying to pass table name as a variable in mysql query, does anybody knows that is it possible or not?

PS:If I writes table name insead of variable, it works fine.

%I want something like  this 
datasource='mysql database name';
conn=database(datasource,'',''); %establishing connection to database
tablename='current_records'; %name of mysql table
sqlquery = ['SELECT id FROM ''' tablename ''''];
result = select(conn,sqlquery);

%This one works fine
datasource='mysql database name';
conn=database(datasource,'',''); %establishing connection to database
sqlquery = ['SELECT id FROM current_records'];
result = select(conn,sqlquery);
