QuotedIdentifier Property
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The QuotedIdentifier property controls Microsoft SQL Server interpretation of identifier strings in statements submitted for execution.
Syntax

.QuotedIdentifier [= value]
Parts

- value
TRUE or FALSE
Data Type
Boolean
Modifiable
Read/write
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetQuotedIdentifier(LPBOOL pRetVal);
HRESULT SetQuotedIdentifier(BOOL NewValue);
Remarks
If TRUE, identifiers can be delimited by double quotation marks (") and character literal values must be delimited by single quotation marks (').
If FALSE, identifiers cannot be quoted and must follow all Transact-SQL rules for identifiers. For example, character literal values can be delimited by either single or double quotation marks.
QuotedIdentifier controls identifier interpretation only for the connection used by the SQLServer object. Specifically, setting QuotedIdentifier does not affect other client connections to any instance of SQL Server, including other connections established by the SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) application.
Interpretation of identifier strings behavior can be set for a SQL Server database. If the database setting is used, and if the database behavior allows quoted identifiers to be used, the setting for the connection is ignored.
