Environment

Release : 4.9

Component : CA Test Data Manager

Cause

Syntax error for column name

Resolution

The word COLUMN is a reserved word with SQL Server:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/language-elements/reserved-keywords-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15

If the column name was called Column_Name it would probably be OK.

I suggest changing the name of that column to something different.

or 

If needing to have that column called "Column Name" or "Column 0" download the latest TDMWeb-4.9* patch from this link:

https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/support-content-notification/-/external/content/release-announcements/Test-Data-Manager-TDM-Patches/16649#TDM4.9.1

Note, this is for 4.9.1.

All patches are cumulative.
