SET SQL_MODE=MSSQL implies all the following sql_mode flags:

MariaDB starting with 10.2.3

In MariaDB 10.2.3 and later, setting the sql_mode system variable to MSSQL allows the server to understand a small subset of Microsoft SQL Server's language. For the moment MSSQL mode only has limited functionality, but we plan to add more later according to demand.

Supported Syntax in MSSQL Mode

Using [] for Quoting

One can use [] instead of "" or `` for quoting identifiers:

SET SQL_MODE="MSSQL";
CREATE TABLE [t 1] ([a b] INT);
SHOW CREATE TABLE [t 1];
Table  Create Table
t 1    CREATE TABLE "t 1" (
  "a b" int(11) DEFAULT NULL
)

You can use '[' in identifiers. If you want to use ']' in identifiers you have to specify it twice.
