I just bought a Kobo eReader which forces me to register at their website before the eReader functions. Seeing that I'm quite a privacy fundamentalist I refuse to register to read a couple books, so I went searching for an alternative. This brought me to this blogpost, which suggests to open the SQLite DB on the eReader and manually inserting a user with the following insert (formatted for readability):
INSERT INTO user (
UserID
,UserKey
,UserDisplayName
,UserEmail
,___DeviceID
,HasMadePurchase
)
VALUES (
‘5b8b0d65-b50f-4460-b6df-aca5e64f4882’
,’626d73ed-8382-4c1d-9750-cfe741c6e773’
,’a_name’
,’an_email_address’
,’01:23:45:67:89:ab’
,’TRUE’
);
So I found the sqlite database and I ran the query, but I get the following error message
SQLiteManager: Likely SQL syntax error: INSERT INTO user(UserID,UserKey,UserDisplayName,UserEmail,___DeviceID,HasMadePurchase) VALUES(‘5b8b0d65-b50f-4460-b6df-aca5e64f4882’,’626d73ed-8382-4c1d-9750-cfe741c6e773’,’a_name’,’an_email_address’,’01:23:45:67:89:ab’,’TRUE’);
[ unrecognized token: "4c1d" ]
Exception Name: NS_ERROR_FAILURE
Exception Message: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [mozIStorageConnection.createStatement]
I looked at the structure of the user table, which is (as you can see below), slightly different from the the query.
CREATE TABLE user (
UserID TEXT NOT NULL
,UserKey TEXT NOT NULL
,UserDisplayName TEXT
,UserEmail TEXT
,___DeviceID TEXT
,FacebookAuthToken TEXT <= missing from query
,HasMadePurchase BIT DEFAULT FALSE
,IsOneStoreAccount BIT DEFAULT FALSE <= missing from query
,IsChildAccount BIT DEFAULT FALSE <= missing from query
,PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
As you can see there are three columns in the db which are not in the query. I don't think that this is the source of the error though.
Does anybody know what the error means and how I can solve the error? All tips are welcome!
Change the single quotes on the VALUES section to double quotes - the error references the middle portion of your string.
In addition to that, surround the column values in backticks and then everything works.

I am trying to insert into my database, and the only problem I can find is the sql not being correct somehow. I tried searching up the errors, but they are confusing at to what they are.
$pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=$dbhost;dbname=$dbvideos;", $dbusername, $dbpassword);
$sql = "INSERT INTO Video ('Channel ID', 'Name', 'VideoDescription', 'VideoLocation') VALUES (:chanID, :vidName, :vDesc, :vLoc)";
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute(array(":chanID"=>$_POST['selectedChannel'], ":vidName"=>$_POST['videoName'], ":vDesc"=>$_POST['viddesc'], ":vLoc"=> $VideoLocation));
print_r($stmt->errorInfo());
With error output:
Array ( [0] => 42000 [1] => 1064 [2] => You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ID, Name, VideoDescription,VideoLocation) VALUES ('1', 'Testing Video', 'This is' at line 1 )
I pre-checked the variables (types match database, and they exist and with validation on previous page). The connection works fine. So SQL is the only error I can find.
I understand having no space in names- that one slipped my mind (I am usually on top of that, even when saving files). Some how removing the space and removing ' quotes made it work. (I originally used ' quoted because I saw some people use it so I though it would fix the problem).
Thank You Ryan Vincent.
I am getting this error:
String was not recognized as a valid Boolean.Couldn't store <No> in meetsstd Column. Expected type is Boolean
When I am running this query:
SELECT * FROM work_nylustis_2013_q3.nylustis_details WHERE siteid = 'NYLUSTIS-155718' LIMIT 50
From this code:
Adapter.SelectCommand = New NpgsqlCommand(SQL, MLConnect)
Adapter.Fill(subDT) ' This line throws error
The meetsstd field is a varchar(3) and it does store either a 'Yes' or a 'No' value. How is this getting this confused with a boolean - a varchar should not care whether is holds 'Yes', or 'Si', or 'Oui'? And it only happens on 27 records out of the 28,000 in the table.
I usually blame npgsql for this kind of strangeness, but the last entry in the stack trace is: System.Data.DataColumn.set_Item(Int32 record, Object value)
Any clues?
Thanks!
Brad
To check if it is problem with database or with driver you can reduce problem to one row and column using your current environment:
SELECT meetsstd FROM work_nylustis_2013_q3.nylustis_details WHERE sitenum=1
(of course you must change sitenum into primary key)
Then try such query using psql, pgAdmin or some JDBC/ODBC based general editor.
If psql shows such record which raises error with your Npgsql based application then problem is with Npgsql driver or problem is with displaying query results.
If other tools shows such strange errors then problem is with your data.
Have you changed type of meetsstd field? Mayby you try to show it on some grid and this grid used Boolean field which was converted to Yes/No for displaying?
I am trying to insert 2 scores into Mysql for two photos for a particular user that already exists in the database. The scores and the photos are both POST variables from a form. I am having great difficulty with the syntax - I am fairly certain the error is related to the position of quotes but despite searching here and finding similar questions I can't seem to get it working. Loathed to bother people with this but need some executive assistance.
$imageT=$_POST[randomimage]."T" ;
$imageH=$_POST[randomimage]."H" ;
$observerid=$_POST[scoreid];
$traction=$_POST[gradeT];
$honeycomb=$_POST[gradeH];
$sql="INSERT INTO scorers ('$imageT', '$imageH')
VALUES ('$imageT', '$imageH') WHERE id=$observerid ";
if (!mysqli_query($con,$sql)) {
die('Error: ' . mysqli_error($con));
} else {
header("Location: testform.php");
} '
$imageT and $imageH are both integers with either T or H appended to them, for example 12T or 14H therefore I assumed they would be treated as strings and I put quotes around them. $traction, $honeycomb and $observerid are all integers. When I echo $imageT, $imageH, $traction, $honeycomb and $observerid the correct values are shown so I am assuming that there is no error in the these, just they way I am placing them within SQL code.
Very much appreciate any help (been learning PHP and My SQL for only 4 weeks so apologies).
At least three main problems at glance
You aren't using prepared statements
You are using WHERE clause in INSERT statement which is useless and erroneous. Either remove WHERE part or change your query to UPDATE.
You didn't post the error with your question. Which you always have to. Error messages is a cornerstone of troubleshooting.
There were three similar questions in StackOverFlow but none gave an answer..
If have found why this error in occurring but don't know the fix.
I am using Strongly Typed Dataset for my project which is created as a dll for DAL.
I have added the Sql Server Table into this dataset using the designer and has created a DataAdapter
It works fine when i insert using DataTableAdapter
daLabTest.Insert(txtLabTestId.Text, cmbLabTestType.Text, cmbTestName.Text, txtLabFees.Text, dtpLabEffDate.Value)
but when i want to show the data from the table in a combobox or gridview i get this error.
i told that i found out what the problem is, I just previewed the data using DataSet designer and found out that the Function returns data like this...
The query i wrote to view this in dataset is
Select distinct(TestType) from LabTestTypes
so this should return only one column but the dataset is returning 5 columns but others as null, and the TestName column is a primary which should not be null when returned, so the problem exists..
To resolve this i tried to change the NullValue & AllowDBNull property to [Empty] and true respectively but that didn't worked for me.
Please help me in this...
That overly general constraint exception is nasty, where's the InnerException after so many complaints?!
This template may help identify the problem row and column but a "Fill" version of the query function is needed. E.g. GetDistinct*() --> Fill*(). Then a table can be created and interrogated for the row's error text.
SomeTable tTable = new SomeTable()
try {
// sorry, if you have a GetData, change to the fill version
someTable.FillByActiveLogin(tTable, loginName);
} catch (System.Data.ConstraintException constrExc) {
System.Data.DataRow[] rowsErr = tTable.GetErrors();
for (int i = 0; i < rowsErr.Count(); i++)
if (rowsErr[i].HasErrors)
Dbg.WriteLine(rowsErr[i].RowError);
}
(Thanks Michael S for this hint whoever/wherever you are!)
I got this error in a function from a DLL that uses a stored procedure. The procedure did not return all the fields in the table. One of the fields excluded was one that cannot be null. That apparently caused the constraint exception. When I changed the procedure and the DLL to include that field, the exception went away.
After spending ages on this problem myself, I have resolved it modifying the query in the dataset to return a dummy value (that can be ignored) for each key field that is not required in the output.
So your query would become...
Select distinct TestType, 1 as ID, "Dummy" as TestName, "Dummy" as TestFees, "Dummy" as TestDate
from LabTestTypes
Forgive me if I could have any sort of fundamental error here. I'd imagine there's something simple I'm missing. I'm looking to store Twitter updates in a database with only a few fields: an auto-increment index, the time posted, the actual status update & the user id the update is in reply to.
I'm simply storing this last field so I can provide a method of filtering out replies.
But it appears that my SQL code is throwing an error. As of this writing, the SQL properly inserts the two most recent updates, which are both replies to another user and, therefore, have data in the in_reply_to_user_id field. But on the third update, which is not in reply to anyone, I get the following error:
Error Number: 1064
You have an error in your SQL syntax;
check the manual that corresponds to
your MySQL server version for the
right syntax to use near ')' at line 1
INSERT IGNORE INTO updates (time,
status, postid, reply) VALUES
(1260070319, 'I guess Johnny Cash knew
what he was talking about in that \"A
Boy Named Suh\" song. That guy is both
fast and mean.', '6389320556', )
Twitter's API states no default value for this parameter. I tried the same query with the "favorited" parameter, and it correctly labeled each row with "false" in my database. So I'm assuming my problem is with inserting an empty string.
For what it's worth, here is my CodeIgniter method:
function insert_tweet($tweet){
foreach($tweet as $t) {
$when = strtotime($t->created_at);
$status = $t->text;
$postid = $t->id;
$reply = $t->in_reply_to_user_id;
$sql = 'INSERT IGNORE INTO updates (time, status, postid, reply) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)';
$this->db->query($sql, array($when, $status, $postid, $reply));
}
}
Any help you could give would be great! I hope I've provided enough information!
More info: I should also note that CodeIgniter is throwing the following error:
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: 4096
Message: Object of class stdClass
could not be converted to string
Filename: database/DB_driver.php
Line Number: 598
In the off chance that this proves some sort of CI idiosyncrasy to be at fault.
I don't know php but in asp.net style pseudo code i would do this...
$this->db->query($sql, array($when, $status, $postid, string.IsNullOrEmpty($reply) ? null : $reply));
Hopefully you can adapt, just need to deal with the empty parameter.
I don't speak codeigniter, but I can tell you how to fix your problem.
You have two options
Check is the string empty, if so, instead of having a blank value, put in the null keyword.
Check is the value empty, if so, leave that column out of the insert statement's cloumns and values.
Hope this helps
I'm not sure about codeigniter (never used it) but I know that you will need to get the null value to appear as NULL
function insert_tweet($tweet){
foreach($tweet as $t) {
$when = strtotime($t->created_at);
$status = $t->text;
$postid = $t->id;
$reply = (is_null($t->in_reply_to_user_id) ? 'NULL' : $t->in_reply_to_user_id);
$sql = 'INSERT IGNORE INTO updates (time, status, postid, reply) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)';
$this->db->query($sql, array($when, $status, $postid, $reply));
}
}
I'm not sure if that will produce the desired SQL:
INSERT IGNORE INTO updates (time, status, postid, reply) VALUES (1260070319, 'I guess Johnny Cash knew what he was talking about in that \"A Boy Named Suh\" song. That guy is both fast and mean.', '6389320556', NULL)
edit Also make sure that the field in the database can be null.
Hope this helps..
Why not alter the last column and make it default to NULL?
When you want to insert some record without this field you just ignore it in the 'INSERT' statement.
And be sure not to put a pending comma between the last column value and the right parenthisis.
:)
You're coming from the CodeIgniter forums right? I think the issue is coming from your Twitter library. Can you post that code? For somereason, it's returning a NULL status as an Object, which it shouldn't do.
Hey guys, the answers here seemed to be close, but no cigar. I got some help from the great folks on the CodeIgniter forums, and here's what I came up with:
$reply = (is_null($t->in_reply_to_user_id) || is_object($t->in_reply_to_user_id) ? ‘NULL’ : $t->in_reply_to_user_id);
Essentially, like Zack said, it is returning the empty field from the Twitter API as an empty object instead of null. So I needed to check if this is either null or an object, then return NULL. And if not, return the user_id string.
Thanks a ton for your help!
