Understanding QUOTED_IDENTIFIER

Question

We just ran into a problem with one of our stored procs throwing an error;

SELECT failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: \'QUOTED_         


        

Answer 1

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

GO

SET ANSI_NULLS ON

GO
--SQL PROCEDURE, SQL FUNCTIONS, SQL OBJECTGO

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF

GO

SET ANSI_NULLS ON

GO

ANSI NULL ON/OFF:

This option specifies the setting for ANSI NULL comparisons. When this is on, any query that compares a value with a null returns a 0. When off, any query that compares a value with a null returns a null value.

QUOTED IDENTIFIER ON/OFF:

This options specifies the setting for usage of double quotation. When this is on, double quotation mark is used as part of the SQL Server identifier (object name). This can be useful in situations in which identifiers are also SQL Server reserved words.
