Is it the problem with SQL, or your Delphi code is not compilable? If the problem is with Delphi code, check quotes in your query.

If you are getting errors related to SQL syntax from SQL Server, check this statement with a client tool like SQL Server Query Analyzer or SQL Server Management Studio.
