sql server ce - Why do my "safety brackets" actually PREVENT this SQL from Working? -


i've got code had apparently needed have brackets applied sql statement due column named "name"; "fixed" code was:

dynsql = string.format("delete platypi duckbill = '{0}' , [name] = '{1}'", tmptype, tmpstr); 

unfortunately, code not doing job - record not being deleted. removing brackets around "name" column:

dynsql = string.format("delete platypi duckbill = '{0}' , name = '{1}'", tmptype, tmpstr); 

...caused work. why adding "suspenders" column name cause column unrecognized? answer question here indicates encasing column names (and table names) in brackets safe way avoid naming collisions other objects/database keywords , such.

when sql brackets fails, no err msg displayed, doesn't work.

note, though, inconsistent; sql contains "[name]" opposed "name" works fine - iow, same sql statement same val "duckbill" different 1 "name" works; "valerie" fails (when column named "name" bracketed).

here go. looks brackets aren't supported. use double quotes instead.
