I am getting this error
ERROR: syntax error at or near "("Position: 65```
for the following query
insert into Employee(no,name,phone) values ((1,Kenit,999999999)(2,Kenit,999999999)(3,Kenit,999999999)(4,Kenit,999999999)(5,Kenit,999999999)(6,Kenit,999999999))
Probably you need commas between paranthesis for each record. And "Kenit" should be in quotes
insert into Employee(no,name,phone) values ((1,'Kenit',999999999),
(2,'Kenit',999999999),(3,'Kenit',999999999),(4,'Kenit',999999999),
(5,'Kenit',999999999),(6,'Kenit',999999999))
Try googling.

happy to help
also: phone numbers should be saved in strings, as well as your names. so adding quotation marks helps not only in readability of the code it gives required LOGIC:
example:
...('asdf', 123, '+8920841209')

I am trying to insert records into my table but keep getting an error due to the dash (Invalid column name 'NJB572'), how can I go about this? I have 2 columns in this table, both VARCHAR.
INSERT INTO dbo.Inventory VALUES
(131-NJB572, 'BROOM')
(PTI-I20, '9/16 IRONWORKERS')
(PTI-I16, '13/16" PUNCH');
You can use quotes to wrap the column names.
Try,
INSERT INTO dbo.Inventory VALUES
('131-NJB572', 'BROOM')
,('PTI-I20', '9/16 IRONWORKERS')
,('PTI-I16', '13/16" PUNCH');

I have been trying to learn SQL, and I was learning the DECODE statement:
This is the query I was trying to use:
SELECT DECODE(FIRST_NAME,'Steven','Name is Steven','Neena','Name is Neena','Some other name') AS "NAME" FROM hr.employees;
This query works successfully,but when I try the query:
SELECT DECODE(FIRST_NAME,'Steven','Name is Steven','Neena','Name is Neena','Some other name') AS "NAME" WHERE FIRST_NAME='Steven' FROM hr.employees;
This query gives me the output as:
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected
Can anyone explain me what's wrong?
Where clause needs to be placed after From clause.
SELECT DECODE(FIRST_NAME,'Steven','Name is Steven','Neena','Name is Neena','Some other name') AS "NAME"
FROM hr.employees
WHERE FIRST_NAME='Steven';

I created table "member". It has two columns name, id and no values. And I'm trying to insert value "spring" into column name!
But It doesn't work...Can anybody help me please?
I wrote like this:
insert into member(name) values("spring");
error is:
Column "spring" not found; SQL statement:
insert into member(name)
values("spring") [42122-200] 42S22/42122
You should use single quotes for your String/Varchar values.
Try this query:
insert into member(name) values('spring');

insert into dbo.leerlingen
('1',
'Reduan de Boer',
'postweg12',
'4589 vb',
'zelhem',
'23841')
when i type this in i get this error can anyone help me please
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 7 Incorrect syntax near ')'.
You are missing the values keyword to introduce the list of values to insert:
insert into dbo.leerlingen values('1', 'Reduan de Boer', 'postweg12', '4589 vb', 'zelhem', '23841')
--^--> here
Note that it is a good practice to enumerate the columns that you want to insert into: this makes the query easier to read to someone who does not know your table structures. Also, if new columns are added that are nullable, you don't need to modify the query.
insert into dbo.leerlingen(id, name, ...) --> enumerate all target columns here
values('1', 'Reduan de Boer', 'postweg12', '4589 vb', 'zelhem', '23841')
Finally: some of your values look like numbers - if they are, then you should not surround them with single quotes (which are typically meant for strings). This makes the intent more obvious, and avoids the need for implicit conversion on database side.

I am trying to run the query below but I am getting an error ERROR: column "test.pdf" does not exist . I dont know why I am getting this error. I search for various links on stackover but none solved my problem like this PostgreSQL query -- column does not exist, Postgres error updating column data. Please help me find the problem.
bill is a type string field in bills table.
update bills

where id=3;
Change the double quotes you have around test.pdf to single quotes.
