    Hello Community,

    Can someone explain why I'm getting the error

    Incorrect syntax near '-'

    When I run the followng sql code:

    CREATE USER DT-SERVICES-TEST WITHOUT LOGIN;

    My guess is because of the hypen '-'

    If that is the case, can someone let me know how to add the code with the hypen?

    Thanks

    Use square brackets:

    CREATE USER [DT-SERVICES-TEST] WITHOUT LOGIN;

    You are correct, the problem is the hyphen. You will need to delimit identify the object name: [DT-SERVICES-TEST].
