Reserved Words (SQL Server Compact Edition)

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition (SQL Server Compact Edition) has reserved words that cannot be used for table and column names.

Using Reserved Words

A reserved word in SQL Server Compact Edition does not necessarily function the same way as the corresponding word in SQL Server 2005. The following table lists the reserved words in SQL Server Compact Edition.

Important

Avoid using reserved words as identifiers. If reserved words must be used as identifiers, they must be delimited with double quotation marks.
