Hello All!

First post here, and I'm hoping someone can help me with this...

I'm working on a db that has a column named 'Function' -- and I want to do a select on that row, but am running into problems because it is a keyword...

How can I properly execute this (Can't change column name...)?:

SELECT Function, count(*)
FROM Space
GROUP BY Function;

When I execute that, I'm getting an error:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Function'.

Thanks in advance for your time and help!!

SELECT [Function], count(*)
FROM Space
GROUP BY [Function];
 
Super!!

Thanks for the clarification!
 
or "Function" depending on your setting for QUOTED_IDENTIFIER
