Reserved Words (SQL Server Compact)

  • Article

SQL Server Compact 3.5 has reserved words that cannot be used for table and column names.

Using Reserved Words

A reserved word in SQL Server Compact 3.5 does not necessarily function the same way as the corresponding word in SQL Server. The following table lists the reserved words in SQL Server Compact 3.5.

Important

Avoid using reserved words as identifiers. If reserved words must be used as identifiers, they must be delimited with double quotation marks or enclosed within brackets: [].
