JDBC Error Incorrect syntax near ''-''.

Hi I am using JDBC driver version "1.0.809.102". In the ms sqlserver 2000 database I am acessing there is a table named as "CDR_DATA_2007-09-12". When I run the following query "select * from CDR_DATA_2007-09-12" i get the following exception. Please help me out to solve this problem.

Hi Gavin,

Looks like SQL Server is thinking "CDR_DATA_2007-09-12" is a numeric operation of "CDR_DATA_2007" - 09 - 12.

Try escaping the table name with '[]'. So the SELECT statement will look like:

"select * from [CDR_DATA_2007-09-12]"

HTH,
