I am trying to execute the following code. However, I continue to recieve the following 'Missing semicolon (;) at the end of SQL statement error in Microsoft Access.
The first query creates the table with the columns defined.
create table test
(
ProcessID int,
Name varchar(10),
Address varchar(10),
RandomData varchar(10)
);
The second query is causing the missing semicolon error.
INSERT into test
VALUES (123 , 'TestName', 'TestAdd', 'qwrj3ri'),
(456 , 'TestName2', 'TestAdd', 'qwerty'),
(789 , 'TestName', 'TestAdd', 'qwrj3ri'),
(1234, 'Testing123', 'tester', 'asdfghjk');
Code with amendments per above comments to make it Access friendly & remove typos:
INSERT INTO test ( ProcessID, Name, Address, RandomData)
VALUES (123 , 'TestName', 'TestAdd', 'qwrj3ri');
INSERT INTO test ( ProcessID, Name, Address, RandomData)
VALUES (456 , 'TestName2', 'TestAdd', 'qwerty');
INSERT INTO test ( ProcessID, Name, Address, RandomData)
VALUES (789 , 'TestName', 'TestAdd', 'qwrj3ri');
INSERT INTO test ( ProcessID, Name, Address, RandomData)
VALUES (1234, 'Testing123', 'tester', 'asdfghjk');

Specific comments:
#Damien_The_Unbeliever:
I don't think access supports multiple rows in the values.
Amended to include an insert into per row instead of a value set per row (values (...), (...)).
#Thomas Tschernich:
our missing single quote next to the end of your insert
Changed 'tester', sdfg') to 'tester', 'sdfg');
#JohnLBevan:
superfluous character on end of first set of values
Changed 'qwrj3ri'), T to 'qwrj3ri'),
You can insert multiple rows in one insert statement in SQL server,but in MS ACCESS its not possible as above listed.
More techniques on multiple inserts in access are described

I need to use the returning value of the Table A (ID) and insert it in Table B as a parameter:
insert into tableA (ID, Name , Address)
values (GEN_ID(GENERATOR,1),'John','123 street')
returning ID
--Example: ID=159
insert into tableB (ID, TABLE_A_FK )
values (GEN_ID(GENERATOR,1), 159)
Instead of entering the actual value 159, can I create like a variable (e.g. declare ID int;), and just pass the parameter?
The only way to do this in a single statement, is to use EXECUTE BLOCK (basically an anonymous one-off procedure). It uses the same syntax as normal stored procedures in Firebird.
You can do:
execute block
as
declare id integer;
begin
insert into tableA (ID, Name , Address)
values (GEN_ID(GENERATOR,1), 'John', '123 street')
returning ID
into id;
insert into tableB (ID, TABLE_A_FK)
values (GEN_ID(GENERATOR,1), :id);
end
If necessary, execute block statements can be parameterized, so you can use parameters to provide values (instead of hard coding them). See the link above for details.
I am having trouble getting MERGE statements to work properly, and I have recently started to try to use checksums.
In the toy example below, I cannot get this row to insert (1, 'ANDREW', 334.3) that is sitting in the staging table.
DROP TABLE TEMP1
DROP TABLE TEMP1_STAGE
-- create table
CREATE TABLE TEMP1
(
[ID] INT,
[NAME] VARCHAR(55),
[SALARY] FLOAT,
[SCD] INT
)
-- create stage
CREATE TABLE TEMP1_STAGE
(
[ID] INT,
[NAME] VARCHAR(55),
[SALARY] FLOAT,
[SCD] INT
)
-- insert vals into stage
INSERT INTO TEMP1_STAGE (ID, NAME, SALARY)
VALUES
(1, 'ANDREW', 333.3),
(2, 'JOHN', 555.3),
(3, 'SARAH', 444.3)
-- insert stage table into main table
INSERT INTO TEMP1
SELECT *
FROM TEMP1_STAGE;
-- clean up stage table
TRUNCATE TABLE TEMP1_STAGE;
-- put some new values in the stage table
INSERT INTO TEMP1_STAGE (ID, NAME, SALARY)
VALUES
(1, 'ANDREW', 334.3),
(4, 'CARL', NULL)
-- CHECKSUMS
update TEMP1_STAGE
set SCD = binary_checksum(ID, NAME, SALARY);
update TEMP1
set SCD = binary_checksum(ID, NAME, SALARY);
-- run merge
MERGE TEMP1 AS TARGET
USING TEMP1_STAGE AS SOURCE
-- match
ON (SOURCE.[ID] = TARGET.[ID])
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET
THEN INSERT (
[ID], [NAME], [SALARY], [SCD]) VALUES (
SOURCE.[ID], SOURCE.[NAME], SOURCE.[SALARY], SOURCE.[SCD]);
-- the value: (1, 'ANDREW', 334.3) is not merged in
SELECT * FROM TEMP1;
How can I use the checksum to my advantage in the MERGE?
Your issue is that the NOT MATCHED condition is only considering the ID values specified in the ON condition.
If you want duplicate, but distinct records, include SCD to the ON condition.
If (more likely) your intent is that record ID = 1 be updated with the new SALARY, you will need to add a WHEN MATCHED AND SOURCE.SCD <> TARGET.SCD THEN UPDATE ... clause.
That said, the 32-bit int value returned by the `binary_checksum()' function is not sufficiently distinct to avoid collisions and unwanted missed updates. Take a look at HASHBYTES instead. See Binary_Checksum Vs HashBytes function.
Even that may not yield your intended performance gain. Assuming that you have to calculate the hash for all records in the staging table for each update cycle, you may find that it is simpler to just compare each potentially different field before the update. Something like:
WHEN MATCHED AND (SOURCE.NAME <> TARGET.NAME OR SOURCE.SALARY <> TARGET.SALARY)
THEN UPDATE ...
Even then, you need to be careful of potential NULL values and COLLATION. Both NULL <> 50000.00 and 'Andrew' <> 'ANDREW' may not give you the results you expect. It might be easiest and most reliable to just code WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE ....
Lastly, I suggest using DECIMAL instead of FLOAT for Salary.
I have been trying to insert data into the database, but it's continuously showing me this error, even though I not writing the name of the column(MemID) in the first fields, rather I am trying to enter it separately like this
create table Member (
MemID VARCHAR(20) PRIMARY KEY,
FullName VARCHAR(50),
email VARCHAR(50),
gender VARCHAR(50),
Contact_Number VARCHAR(50),
Registration_Number VARCHAR(50),
User_S# INT
);
insert into Member (FullName, email, gender, Contact_Number,
Registration_Number, User_S#) values ('Jemmy Joutapaitis',
'jjoutapaitiscf#dailymail.co.uk', 'Male', '86-(804)800-8008',
'3574884734839928', 449);
insert into Member (FullName, email, gender, Contact_Number,
Registration_Number, User_S#) values ('Cleo Glynn', 'cglynncg#i2i.jp',
'Male', '81-(694)548-5205', '5443114970343516', 450);
insert into Member (FullName, email, gender, Contact_Number,
Registration_Number, User_S#) values ('Ivonne Deetlefs',
'ideetlefsch#virginia.edu', 'Female', '86-(257)683-5628',
'3571675846170605', 451);
insert into Member(MemID)
values('Mem0');
insert into Member(MemID)
values('Mem1');
insert into Member(MemID)
values('Mem2');
This code is giving me the error
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'MemID', table
'master.dbo.Member'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
But I am inserting MemID column separately.
And also the table which has created above is not showing in the database, is it because of the error or something else?
That's not how inserts work.
When an insert is triggered sql tries to add the row immediately, without waiting for the consequent statements (it's stands true for any dml statements not only insert).
So when your first insert is triggered then sql is trying to put null in MemID as you haven't supplied any MemID in your insert.
Try inserting it in the very first place itself in the insert. Instead of separate statement something like:
insert into Member (MemID, FullName, email, gender, Contact_Number,
Registration_Number, User_S#) values ('Mem0','Jemmy Joutapaitis',
'jjoutapaitiscf#dailymail.co.uk', 'Male', '86-(804)800-8008',
'3574884734839928', 449);
EDIT
With response to your comment , I think Prepared statements is what you're looking for.
Since you're using python you could do prepare your insert statement like:
sql = "insert into Member (MemID, FullName, email, gender, Contact_Number,
Registration_Number, User_S#) values (%s,'Jemmy Joutapaitis',
'jjoutapaitiscf#dailymail.co.uk', 'Male', '86-(804)800-8008',
'3574884734839928', 449);"
sql = sql.format(self.db_scan_table)
//whenever you've memid ready use.
self.cursor.execute(sql, ('Mem01'))
Define an AUTO_INCREMENT column to generate ID values for you:
CREATE TABLE Member (
MemID INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
-- ...
);
If this isn't practical because you need some kind of particular string definition for these then your only option is to supply it as part of the initial INSERT call. You have a constraint here, the PRIMARY KEY value must not be NULL.
should be able to using the query below. identify the next number
insert into member(memid,......)
values ( 'MEM' + cast((select count(1) from member)+1 as varchar(100)),... )
if you want to start with 1 then + 1
otherwise remove + 1
insert into member(memid,......)
values ( 'MEM' + cast((select count(1) from member) as varchar(100)),... )
If I have an insert statement such as:
INSERT INTO MyTable
(
Name,
Address,
PhoneNo
)
VALUES
(
'Yatrix',
'1234 Address Stuff',
'1112223333'
)
How do I set #var INT to the new row's identity value (called Id) using the OUTPUT clause? I've seen samples of putting INSERTED.Name into table variables, for example, but I can't get it into a non-table variable.
I've tried OUPUT INSERTED.Id AS #var, SET #var = INSERTED.Id, but neither have worked.
You can either have the newly inserted ID being output to the SSMS console like this:
INSERT INTO MyTable(Name, Address, PhoneNo)
OUTPUT INSERTED.ID
VALUES ('Yatrix', '1234 Address Stuff', '1112223333')
You can use this also from e.g. C#, when you need to get the ID back to your calling app - just execute the SQL query with .ExecuteScalar() (instead of .ExecuteNonQuery()) to read the resulting ID back.
Or if you need to capture the newly inserted ID inside T-SQL (e.g. for later further processing), you need to create a table variable:
DECLARE #OutputTbl TABLE (ID INT)
INSERT INTO MyTable(Name, Address, PhoneNo)
OUTPUT INSERTED.ID INTO #OutputTbl(ID)
VALUES ('Yatrix', '1234 Address Stuff', '1112223333')
This way, you can put multiple values into #OutputTbl and do further processing on those. You could also use a "regular" temporary table (#temp) or even a "real" persistent table as your "output target" here.
I have created table using this command successfully
create table Person(
first_name varchar(25) not null,
last_name varchar(25) not null,
persoin_id number not null,
birth_date date,
country varchar (25),
salary number);
and now I want to insert data into that table
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia');
values(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia');
first row is inserted,but problem is with second line
1 rows inserted.
Error starting at line 10 in command:
values(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia')
Error report:
Unknown Command
Please help me to determine what is problem?thanks
If you are on a RDBMS that supports multi-rows inserts in one INSERT:
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values
(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia') ,
--- comma here ---^
(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia') ;
^--- no "values" here
If not (like Oracle), you'll have to issue two insert statements:
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values
(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia') ;
--- as it was here ---^
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values
(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia') ;
or use this approach:
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
select
(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia')
from dual
union all select
(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia')
from dual
;
You will need to use 2 insert statement instead of one for 2 different sets of data...
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia');
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia')
You have a ; at the end of:
values(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia');
^
change it to , and also loose the values from the next line. You need just one values per insert.
