Answer 1

Use [] round the column name:

CREATE TABLE [test2] 
(cn VarChar(1024) NULL,
 [tutor-id] VarChar(1024) NULL)

Or preferably stick to column names which don't require special treatment...

Note that it's a column name which has a hyphen, not the table name.

Answer 2

使用[tutor-id]

Answer 3

如果必须，您可以通过将字段名称设置为[tutor-id]而不是tutor-id来解决此问题，但只是将字段重命名为tutorId是一种我宁愿采用的方法。

Answer 4

SQL doesn't like hyphens. Try enclosing tutor-id in square brackets: [tutor-id]

Answer 5

您可以用下划线替换连字符，或将名称括在[和]中。

Answer 6

Try:

CREATE Table [test2] ( [cn] varchar(1024) NULL, [tutor-id] varchar(1024) NULL )
