column name as group in a table

Hi
I have a table created by user as
use base
insert into table1 values ( 'x')
select * from table1
where group = 'x'
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Group'.
My question is :
I tried to create a table with
create table x ( group varchar(10))
and it gives error
But same table I Can create from EM with group column.
But I Can not write a where clause on the group column.
Is it a bug or what'
MangeshGroup is a reserved word. It's a best practice not to use column names that
are reserved words. If you insist on using reserved words, use square
brackets:
[Group]

Mangesh|||Thanks Tom. So what is the difference when you put a square bracket and
when you don't

Object names between square brackets are called 'delimited identifiers', and
delimited identifiers allow you to break each and every restriction of name
creation (e.g. VERY long names, names that contain spaces or other forbidden
characters, names that are reserved words, etc.).
Delimited identifiers are not comfortable to handle though - why don't you
translate the name 'group' into Hindi or Punjab? It is rather unlikely that
it will still conflict with a reserved word ... ;-)
Another solution is using the hungarian notation: the character field
'group' would then be 'cGroup' (or 'vcGroup') which both wouldn't conflict
with the reserved words.|||Hi,
If u understand the process of query execution then u should know that
microsoft compiler detects the reserverd name and from the information
of BOL microsoft suggest to use the reserved names in brakets becasue
on compiltion time microsoft doesnt detects as reserved becasue of
deliminated identifier.
create table ff([group] varchar(20))
from
doller|||Thanks a lot.
