Toad SQL Server Alter command Not creating proper Drop syntax. Missing brackets on object name

ALTER

The Table below had a default value associated with a column.

The TableName has special characters in the name “Rel_3.3.2” which need to be put into brackets.

TABLE[dbo].[DailyReportData_REL_3.2.2_LastCSV]

DROP CONSTRAINT DF_DailyReportData_REL_3.2.2_LastCSV_ACN_Number

–The above syntax is incorrect and fails on the Drop Constraint due to the 'Rel_3.2.2" or periods.

— The BELOW syntax is correct and this is what Toad SQL Server should be generating on all object names.

TABLE [dbo].[DailyReportData_REL_3.2.2_LastCSV]

DROP CONSTRAINT [DF_DailyReportData_REL_3.2.2_LastCSV_ACN_Number]

GO

Hi,

I can’t reproduce this issue, Here is my step:

1.I have create a table named DailyReportData_REL_3.2.2_LastCSV ,

2.add constraint for it(Alter table| Constratint tabe).

No matter I create constraint or drop it ,I can see the brackets.

Please point out if I do somthing different with your step?

Thanks,

Cathy.

To Cathy Liu and Kelly Chen,

Thanks for the response…

I am going with address both issues at the same time for they are related.

Kelly, thanks I see that you understand the problem…

Cathy,

n Reference : http://www.toadworld.com/products/toad-for-sql-server/f/14/p/22482/48382.aspx#48382

n The problems are related, because of the Characters in the fully qualified database and table name.

o The syntax generated by the ALTER command using Toad SS 6.1 generates an error.

o Look at the table below my signature and in the attached file to see the error

o Use the attached file to recreate the problem on dropping the table default value

§ This is clearly reproducible and IT SHOULD BE NOTED that the brackets are present on the ADD default value but NOT the DROP syntax.
