I am moving data from one Access table to another.

the following code works for most of the tables except one:
I get "System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Syntax error in INSERT INTO
statement"

How can I get the entire SQL insert string to find out what is causing the
Syntax error?

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
dataRow = dataTable.NewRow();
foreach(DataColumn cl in dsNew.Tables[0].Columns)
{
dataRow[cl.ColumnName] = dr[cl.ColumnName];
}
dataTable.Rows.Add(dataRow);

this._dt.UpdateImportData(adapter, dsCurrent, importInfo.TableName);
//
//
//
public void UpdateImportData(OleDbDataAdapter adapter, DataSet ds, string
tableName)
{
try
{
adapter.Update(ds, tableName); // this is where the error
occurs
adapter.Dispose();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
throw new Exception(e.ToString());
}
}

Hi Peter,

Mostly this kind of errors have to do with the primary key which is not
supplied before the add to the datatable.

I hope this helps?

Thanks for Cor's quick response.

Hi Peter,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you got a syntax error in INSERT INTO
statement when trying to update records to an Access table. And you need to
find a way to see what SQL statement is actually executed that causes the
problem. If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

Based on my experience, we can get the executed command statements by
handling the OleDbDataAdapter.RowUpdating event. The RowUpdating event
fires before a row is going to be updated. In OleDbRowUpdatingEventArgs,
the Command member is the OleDbCommand object actually executed on
database. We can use e.Command.CommandText and e.Command.Parameters to get
these values.

As Peter mentioned, this might have something to do with the primary key.
If you are having problem debugging this issue, please feel free to let me
know. Please also paste the Command text and parameter's type, size and
value here.

HTH. If anything is unclear, please feel free to reply to the post.

Thanks everyone for your help, one of the field's name was column once I
renamed it to column_name everything worked.

Is there a way to use column as the column name?
 
Hi Peter,

As "column" is a reserved word in T-SQL, it's not recommended to use it as
a field name in table. If you have to use it, you can add brackets like
[column] when using in SQL statements. Here is an example:

INSERT INTO Table1([column]) values("hello")

HTH. If anything is unclear, please feel free to reply to the post.
