在SQL Server Management Studio中执行查询

Question

This very simple query I am trying to execute in SQL Server Management Studio. But it gives error:

CREATE TABLE `contact` (
  `contact_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  `email` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  `address` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  `telephone` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`contact_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=25 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

Error is:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near '`'.

I also tried by replacing with '` but still no help

Answer 1

The backtick ( ` ) character is only used for MySql. It's not standard. Sql Server is a completely different animal. You need to use square-brackets ( [ and ] -- also not standard) to enclose table and column names with Sql Server. Sql Server also supports double quotes ( " ), which are part of the SQL Standard, but for some reason less-common.

While I'm at it, the ENGINE and AUTO_INCREMENT, and CHARSET clauses are also MySql-specific.

Try this:

CREATE TABLE contact (
  contact_id int IDENTITY(25,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  [name] varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  email varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  "address" varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  telephone varchar(45) NOT NULL
)

Answer 2

in tsql

CREATE TABLE contact (
  contact_id int identity(0,25) NOT NULL,
  name nvarchar(45) NOT NULL,
  email nvarchar(45) NOT NULL,
  address nvarchar(45) NOT NULL,
  telephone nvarchar(45) NOT NULL

  CONSTRAINT contact_PK PRIMARY KEY (contact_id)
)

You can't specify engine.

identity(0,25) means initial value = 0, increment = 25

You don't specify character set for the table, you can declare individual columns as varchar or nvcarchar -- the n stands for unicode. You can also specify a collation sequence for each column.

If you want a column name that is irregular (keyword, embedded space, etc.) you quote the column name as [column name] -- don't use irregular column names if you have a choice, it just makes things a pain to use.

Try like this:

CREATE TABLE contact (
  contact_id[int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
  name varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  email varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  address varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  telephone varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (contact_id)
) 

Hope this may help you.
