query += "Insert into " + tableName.ToLower() + "";
query += "(";
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Columns.Count; i++)
{
if (i != dt.Columns.Count - 1)
query += dt.Columns[i].ColumnName.ToLower() + ",";
else
query += dt.Columns[i].ColumnName.ToLower();
}
query += ")";
DataRow[] result = dt.Select();
query += "select * from " + result

You Can't use two sql Statements at once like that you have to separate them in two different objects or variables (It's sometimes allowed when you end each by a semicolon ; but not in your case )
try to get each cell value in the row
query += "Insert into " + tableName.ToLower() + "";
query += "(";
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Columns.Count; i++)
{
if (i != dt.Columns.Count - 1)
query += dt.Columns[i].ColumnName.ToLower() + ",";
else
query += dt.Columns[i].ColumnName.ToLower();
}
query += ")";
query += "values ( ";
string temQry=query;//you need it more than once
DataRow[] result = dt.Select();
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++){
for (int j = 0; j < dt.Columns.Count; j++){
if ((j+1)<dt.Columns.Count){
query += result[i].item(j) +"," ;
}
else {
query += result[i].item(j);}
}
query=temQry; //recover the query for each new row
}
