Question

In my table called “test01” I keep getting an error when I run the site.

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near ‘[test01]’ at line 1

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of
the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more
information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: You have an

MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘[test01]’ at
line 1

From what I can see it is because the code that it is generating when I bring toolbox items and drop them in design view is this:

SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [test01]" 
        DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM [test01] WHERE [test_id] = ?" 
        InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [test01] ([test_id], [TestName], [TestDescription]) VALUES (?, ?, ?)" 
        UpdateCommand="UPDATE [test01] SET [TestName] = ?, [TestDescription] = ? WHERE [test_id] = ?">

When I remove the [ ] brackets it works fine. Is there something I can do to change the functionality of this?

I hope this question makes sense!

Brackets are a MSSQL way of qualifying stuff. You want backticks for MySQL.

SELECT * FROM `test01`
