| My Server instance has a backslash. When I try to truncate a table with the fully qualified table name, as in:DELETE FROM MYSERVER\NODE1.STODATABASE.dbo.JunkI get a syntax error: Incorrect syntax near '\'.Double quotes doesn't correct the issue.What is the correct form?Thanks. |

| Try [...] around the individual parts of the name?[server].[database].[owner].[table] |

| If QUOTED_IDENTIFIER is ON, you can replace the brackets with double-quotes. Each part of the name needs to be quoted with either brackets or quotes. Either of these will work:[MYSERVER\NODE1].STODATABASE.dbo.Junk"MYSERVER\NODE1".STODATABASE.dbo.JunkJeff |
