SYMPTOMS

SQL Enterprise Manager (SEM) fails to connect to the server if one of the databases on the server was created with quoted_identifier on. SQL-DMO returned the following error when the database name was "work":

A connection could not be established -Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'work'.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 6.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

The error occurs on execution of sp_MSdbuserprofile 'init'. This stored procedure is called by SEM while connecting to server.
