Need help verifying my MySQL syntax

Somewhat new to SQL. Cannot seem to figure out what i'm doing wrong!!

UPDATE mileagetable 
SET EndMileage= `4599`, 
    EndTime= `9 : 12 AM` 
WHERE mileagetable.id= 26

Basically i have a db called lets say db83838383 and a table in that db called mileagetable And 30 records identified by the primary key " id " I'm just trying to open a currently existent record "26" and fill in two empty feilds.

I cannot seem to get my query to work? Any help would be appreciated.

Ticks are for identifiers. Quotes are for string values:

UPDATE mileagetable 
SET EndMileage= `4599`, 
    EndTime= `9 : 12 AM` 
WHERE mileagetable.id= 26

should be

UPDATE mileagetable 
SET EndMileage= '4599', 
    EndTime= '9 : 12 AM' 
WHERE mileagetable.id= 26
