asked on

dsn connection

When i am using northwind database (built in when installed sql server) to create a recordset, it is ok.
But when i am using my own creation database to create a recordset, one dialog box come out showing:

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'User'.

I use the same driver in odbc when i create the DSN

I am using Sql server 7.0 and ultradev 4.0 with Windows2000 server.

Please help...
thank you

User here is the user table.

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[File] DROP CONSTRAINT FK_File_USER
GO

if exists (select * from sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[USER]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[USER]
GO

if exists (select * from sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[File]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[File]
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[USER] (
     [UserID] [numeric](18, 0) NOT NULL ,
     [name] [varchar] (50) NOT NULL ,
     [password] [varchar] (50) NOT NULL ,
     [email] [varchar] (50) NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[File] (
     [UserID] [numeric](18, 0) NOT NULL ,
     [FileID] [numeric](18, 0) NOT NULL ,
     [FileDesc] [varchar] (8000) NOT NULL ,
     [FileTitle] [varchar] (200) NOT NULL ,
     [FilePath] [varchar] (100) NOT NULL ,
     [FileDate] [datetime] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
Looks to me like USER is being thought of as a keyword or reserved word...

Try changing the name of the USER table to something else, and see what happens...

I agree with dclary your create table is 8336 plus the length of the date. Which exceeds the max row size.  You have a fileDesc of 8000 (seems kinda large), just lower that until the total length is less that 8353 or break it out into a second table.
 
I meant lower it until the total length is below 8060 bytes.  Sorry about the typo.
