I'm just trying to add 2 columns to customer table
alter table CUSTOMER ADD ( CUSTOMERNAME VARCHAR(255) NULL
, CUSTOMERDESC VARCHAR(30) NULL )
but I get the following error when I try to run the script,
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near '('.
Can someone tell me what is the mistake that I'm doing. Thanks in anticipation
You don't need the brackets for an alter statement so remove them. ie:
alter table CUSTOMER ADD CUSTOMERNAME VARCHAR(255) NULL,
CUSTOMERDESC VARCHAR(30) NULL
You don't need any ( before the column names - just use:
ALTER TABLE dbo.Customer
ADD CustomerName VARCHAR(255) NULL, CustomerDesc VARCHAR(30) NULL
Does that work?

I just want to make a new table in database, when I create table just got some messages like
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 5 Incorrect syntax near 'tbl_invoice'".
So my question is where do I start to make a new table?
use master
use db_penjualan
create table tbl_invoice (
no_invoice varchar primary key (10),
jenis_pembayaran varchar(25),
user_generate varchar (10),
tgl_terbit date not null )
;

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 5 Incorrect syntax near
'tbl_invoice'.
The problem lies with primary key declaration syntax. Write it as:
use db_penjualan
Go
create table tbl_invoice (
no_invoice varchar(10),
jenis_pembayaran varchar(25),
user_generate varchar (10),
tgl_terbit date not null ,
primary key(no_invoice)--define primary key col here
)
;
I'm trying to drop and recreate a table with a new schema in SQL Server, and then insert some test data into it to validate that it's working correctly. I have the following DDL:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Product](
[ID] int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
[Name] VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
[Description] VARCHAR(200) NULL,
[Modified] DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT(GETUTCDATE()),
[ModifiedBy] VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL
);
and the following insert statement:
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Product]([Name], [Description], [Modified], [ModifiedBy])
VALUES('Test', 'Description', GETUTCDATE(), 'Me');
Whenever I attempt to insert the aforementioned row, I get an error:
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 38
Invalid column name 'Name'.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 38
Invalid column name 'Description'.
I know the table is there since I can SELECT * FROM Product and get an empty result set with the correct columns and no errors... I just can't insert into it for some reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
As per Martin's answer, I did some more research and he is correct. The schema manipulation needs to be done in separate batches (I simply added a GO after dropping my old table and after creating my new one with a different schema). A more detailed answer can be found here: "Invalid column name" error when calling insert after table created
Maybe try refreshing the cache. Easy way is to press Ctrl + shift + R
Or
Edit > IntelliSense > Refresh Local Cache
If doesnt work, then use qualified names [dbo].table or username.tablename etc

For me, your query looks good, and i test it successfully.
Try adding schema name and put all column name inside brackets:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Product](
[ID] int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
[Name] VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
[Description] VARCHAR(200) NULL,
[Modified] DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT(GETUTCDATE()),
[ModifiedBy] VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL
);
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Product]([Name], [Description], [Modified], [ModifiedBy])
VALUES('Test', 'Description', GETUTCDATE(), 'Me');
Don't do anything just try to insert (' ')single quotes instead of (") quotes.. or if you insert data with ('')single quotes try for (") double quotes it's really helping you.
How to create a table with a column which is unique, not null and not empty(Check)?
I tried below Query
CREATE TABLE Persons
(
P_Id int NOT NULL UNIQUE,
LastName nvarchar(255) NOT NULL,
FirstName nvarchar(255),
Address nvarchar(255),
City nvarchar(255),
CHECK (P_Id>0)
)
When i try to create a table with both UNIQUE and CHECK constraint its throwing following error. Is it possible to use two constraint in a single query?
Major Error 0x80040E14, Minor Error 25501
> CREATE TABLE Persons
(
P_Id int NOT NULL UNIQUE,
LastName nvarchar(255) NOT NULL,
FirstName nvarchar(255),
Address nvarchar(255),
City nvarchar(255),
CHECK (P_Id>0)
)
There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 8,Token line offset = 1,Token in error = CHECK ]. I am using SQL Server 2008.
CREATE TABLE tab
(
id INT,
notnullandnotemptystr VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL UNIQUE CHECK (DATALENGTH(notnullandnotemptystr) > 0)
)
It should be some thing like this.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TABLE1](
[COL1] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL UNIQUE
)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[TABLE1] WITH CHECK
ADD CONSTRAINT [CK_TABLE1] CHECK (([COL1]<>N''))
for this problem you can use Constraint in sql server
ALTER TABLE TBL WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [CK_TBL] CHECK
(([dbo].[TBLCheckCustomeUnique](ID)=(1)))
TBLCheckCustomeUnique is a user define function that check this conditions
You can controll the uniqueness of a column or column set by the UNIQUE constraint.
The data stored in the column or column set could be checked/controlled (and forced with various rules) by the CHECK constraint.
The CHECK constraint to achieve your goal is the following:
ALTER TABLE [YourTable]
ADD CONSTRAINT CK_CheckConstraintName
CHECK (LEN([YourColumn]) >= {MinimumColumnWidth})
You can add the constraints in the CREATE TABLE statement or if the table already exists you can add it with the ALTER TABLE .. ADD CONSTRAINT statement.
I am running the following:
insert into [authentication].[dbo].[AspNetUserRoles] ("RoleId","UserId")
values ("0918fb0f-79c0-4298-b184-9a754dc5c30e", "527ddbd5-14d3-4fb9-a7ae-374e66f635d4")
Here's my table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AspNetUserRoles] (
[RoleId] NVARCHAR (128) NOT NULL,
[UserId] NVARCHAR (128) NOT NULL
);
However it's giving me an error saying:
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Invalid column name '0918fb0f-79c0-4298-b184-9a754dc5c30e'.
Is there something wrong with the way I have coded the insert ?
Put the values in '' not "":
insert into [authentication].[dbo].[AspNetUserRoles] ("RoleId","UserId")
values ('0918fb0f-79c0-4298-b184-9a754dc5c30e',
'527ddbd5-14d3-4fb9-a7ae-374e66f635d4');
The problem is that the values with "" around them are treated as identifiers not literals. Like in "RoleId","UserId".
i m not able to modify table in SQL server. i m new to databases.
use work
go
alter table employee
modify id varchar(20)
error message is-
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'modify'
here is an screenshot
thanks
You have the syntax for altering a table wrong. You need:
ALTER TABLE YourTable
ALTER COLUMN ExistingColumn VARCHAR(20)
The syntax should be
ALTER TABLE Employee ALTER COLUMN ID VarChar (20)
Here is the ALTER COLUMN syntax.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190273.aspx
Now, having said all that, I have a question for you.. Why is your ID column a VarChar as opposed to an Identity Column?
