Column, parameter, or variable #10: Cannot find data type

Question

I'm trying to create table from template code.

This template code is working:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1]     (     [Field1] [int] NULL,     [Field2] [float] NULL     ) ON [PRIMARY] 

But if I put varchar(10):

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1]     (     [Field1] [int] NULL,     [Field2] [varchar(10)] NULL     ) ON [PRIMARY] 

I get error:

Msg 2715, Level 16, State 7, Line 1 Column, parameter, or variable #2: Cannot find data type varchar(10).

The problem are brackets []. You have to put only varchar into brackets: [varchar](10)

Code:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1]     (     [Field1] [int] NULL,     [Field2] [varchar](10) NULL     ) ON [PRIMARY] 

Or you can also remove the brackets:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1]     (     [Field1] int NULL,     [Field2] varchar(10) NULL     ) ON [PRIMARY]
