sql server programming
group:SQL Server 2005 create table
sql server programming:
I have a legacy VS C++ program which works well with SQL Server 2000, creating tables etc as required. The same program does not work with Server 2005 express, eg CREATE TABLE fails. Is this a known issue with a fix or do I need to rewrite code?
Please be more specific. What do the phrases "does not work" and "fails"
mean? Do you get an error message? If so, what is it? What is the CREATE TABLE statement you are attempting to run? -- Aaron Bertrand SQL Server MVP [quoted text, click to view] "WRH" <nospam@videotron.ca> wrote in message news:erPePC90HHA.6072@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > Hello > I have a legacy VS C++ program which works well with SQL Server 2000, > creating > tables etc as required.

The C++ code to construct the CREATE TABLE statement does little to help
here. Can you have C++ print out the CREATE TABLE statement it eventually tries to execute? And once again, can you explain what "will not create tables" means? Do you get an error message? If so, WHAT IS IT? Think about calling your doctor and simply saying "I don't feel good." Do you think he will be able to diagnose over the phone, without getting any more information? -- Aaron Bertrand SQL Server MVP [quoted text, click to view] "WRH" <nospam@videotron.ca> wrote in message news:%23mf%23RM$0HHA.3400@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >I have a class which connects to the data base ok > but will not create tables.

I have this SQL string...
CREATE TABLE Inbox ( Msg varchar(200) Size varchar(200) Subject varchar(200) Frm varchar(200) Date varchar(200) Body text Too text Dbst varchar(200) Cc text Bcc text ) The error message is Invalid object name 'Inbox' [quoted text, click to view] "Aaron Bertrand [SQL Server MVP]" <ten.xoc@dnartreb.noraa> wrote in message news:OEDT9fD1HHA.4004@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > The C++ code to construct the CREATE TABLE statement does little to help > here.

>I have this SQL string... > > CREATE TABLE Inbox > ( > Msg varchar(200) > Size varchar(200) This would not work in any version of SQL Server. It needs to be: CREATE TABLE Inbox ( Msg varchar(200), Size varchar(200), ....etc. You also should enclose column names in [brackets] if you are going to use keywords like size and date. A
Thanks again to all.
I put in the comma's and it worked fine!

Yes. This code has worked very well for a number of years.
I am not knowledgeable about SQL, but I developed and tested the code using SQL 2000. In this string there are no comma's but there are CR/LF after each parameter. Perhaps SQL 2000 accepted this in lieu of commas.

I don't see how it could have, and I think you are mistaken. When I run
that code in Query Analyzer against SQL Server 2000 I get: Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 4 Line 4: Incorrect syntax near 'Size'. -- Aaron Bertrand SQL Server MVP [quoted text, click to view] "WRH" <nospam@videotron.ca> wrote in message news:O2THIbE1HHA.1484@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Yes.

Thanks all!
I will try it immediately. I will say however, that it has worked as is for several years with SQL 2000.

If you need help regarding C++, aks this question in a C++ newsgroup.
We need to see the actual query being passed to the server. ML --- Matija Lah, SQL Server MVP
No commas.
Try this: CREATE TABLE Inbox ( Msg varchar(200) ,Size varchar(200) ,Subject varchar(200) ,Frm varchar(200) ,Date varchar(200) ,Body text ,Too text ,Dbst varchar(200) ,Cc text ,Bcc text ) ML --- Matija Lah, SQL Server MVP

I could be mistaken. It is a large program and SQL routines
are only a small part of it. But SQL storage worked fine. It may not have been SQL 2000 however...what was the standard Microsoft SQL before 2000? This code definitely worked on a Microsoft SQL server!

How do you enter the string in the Query Analyzer?
In C++, the string contains CR LF, ie the characters \r\n eg "CREATE TABLE Inbox (Msg varchar(200)\r\nSize varchar(200)\r\n..." I can't be sure of the SQL version but I can be sure this code did work ok.

The version before SQL Server 2000 is SQL Server 7.0, and it returns the
same error message: Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 4 Line 4: Incorrect syntax near 'Size'. Gert-Jan [quoted text, click to view] WRH wrote:
