when I was renaming the column in SQL Server, I accidentally inserted the square brackets around the column. The actual statement that I used was:
SP_RENAME 'customer.[EMPLOYEENAMES]', '[EMPLOYEENAME]', 'COLUMN'
But when I try to retrieve the data it just says and I even tried with out square brackets, it gives the same error
Invalid column name ‘[EMPLOYEENAME]’.
How should I remove the square brackets.
This will restore order in your database:
You cannot use double brackets because it returns syntax error. Quotes circumvent this limitation.
