Query a table that has spaces in its name

问题

I have a situation, I have a Access table named Gas Flow Rates that I want to add records. When I try to run my insert query for a similar table Common Station, I get the following error:

"error hy000: syntax error, in query incomplete query clause"

Code is:

using System;
using System.Data.Odbc;

class MainClass
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    string connectionString = "Dsn=Gas_meter";
    string sqlins = "";
    OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection(connectionString);

    OdbcCommand cmdnon = new OdbcCommand(sqlins, conn);
    conn.Open();

    try
    {
       cmdnon.CommandText = "INSERT INTO 'Common station' ( S1Flow, S2Flow, S3Flow, S4Flow) VALUES (9999,999, 999, 999)";
        //Once the above line works replace it with cmdnon.CommandText= "INSERT INTO Gas Flow Rates ( S1Flow, S2Flow, S3Flow, S4Flow) VALUES (9999,999, 999, 999)"
        int rowsAffected = cmdnon.ExecuteNonQuery();
        Console.WriteLine(rowsAffected);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
    }
    finally
    {
        conn.Close();
    }
}
}

How do I overcome that error?

回答1:

Surround the spaced out item with square brackets:

[Common station]

Then slap the guy who designed the database.

回答2:

SELECT * FROM [My Crazy Table With Spaces and Other Chars!]

Use brackets to "quote" table and field names.

回答3:

  cmdnon.CommandText = "INSERT INTO '[Common station]' ( S1Flow, S2Flow, S3Flow, S4Flow) VALUES (9999,999, 999, 999)";
    //Once the above line works replace it with cmdnon.CommandText= "INSERT INTO Gas Flow Rates ( S1Flow, S2Flow, S3Flow, S4Flow) VALUES (9999,999, 999, 999)"

Late to the party I know, but have just solved my own issue here... Playing in access 2007 using ODBC connection to an SQL Db.

Table name is Employee_Appointment Extra Detail Custom Syntax to select is as follows SQlRecordSet.Open "Select * from [Employee].[Appointment Extra Detail Custom]", Conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic

Hope this saves someone else a few hours of playing!
