Column, parameter, or variable #10: Cannot find data type


I'm trying to create table from template code.

This template code is working:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1]
    (
    [Field1] [int] NULL,
    [Field2] [float] NULL
    ) ON [PRIMARY]

But if I put varchar(10):

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1]
    (
    [Field1] [int] NULL,
    [Field2] [varchar(10)] NULL
    ) ON [PRIMARY]

I get error:

Msg 2715, Level 16, State 7, Line 1
Column, parameter, or variable #2: Cannot find data type varchar(10).

Solution

  • The problem are brackets []. You have to put only varchar into brackets: [varchar](10)

    Code:

    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1]
        (
        [Field1] [int] NULL,
        [Field2] [varchar](10) NULL
        ) ON [PRIMARY]
    

    Or you can also remove the brackets:

    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1]
        (
        [Field1] int NULL,
        [Field2] varchar(10) NULL
        ) ON [PRIMARY]
