This article applies to Microsoft Dynamics NAV for all countries and all language locales.
Symptoms
When you change the SQL Data Type property for a field in a table in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, you receive the following error message:
The following SQL Server error or errors occurred when accessing the TableName table: 102,"42000",[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near 'Characters'.
Note The TableName placeholder represents the actual Microsoft Dynamics NAV table name and the Characters placeholder represents several random characters from an SQL statement.This problem occurs if the table name or the relevant field name is unusually long. This problem occurs in the following products:
-
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2
-
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Service Pack 1
Cause
This problem occurs because the long table name or the long field name causes an overflow of the buffer. The buffer is available to contain the SQL statement that applies the change to the underlying table.
