Hi all,

Great community you have here, been lurking and researching for sometime when I have issues. I'm a support manager and system administrator for a Electronic Heath Record vendor down in Tampa. We host our clients systems on a Virtual environment on SQL2012. I have an error log report that I run as job nightly and recently added some blank databases for templates to one of my servers. I named the databases based on the software's release year and the specialty.

Ie:

2011PC (Primary Care)
2011Cardio
ect.

Anyways when the report runs it errors out on those names. Since these are blank template databases, I could detach and rename them but i would rather learn a little something and adjust the report script. I have a feeling it is something very simple. Thanks in advance if anyone can figure it out!

Here is the Error:
Executed as user: DAS\Administrator. Incorrect syntax near '2011'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 102) Incorrect syntax near '2011'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 102) Incorrect syntax near '2011'.

Escape the names with square brackets - for example, instead of 2011PC, use [2011PC]. Whether you set the variable with the square brackets included, or whether you add that into the dynamic query as you are constructing the dynamic query does not matter - do whichever is more convenient (probably the former).
