MySQL Workbench expecting command between table name and columns











up vote

I'm using MySQL Workbench, as part of automating adding and updating information to my table I'm using a statement like the following.



INSERT INTO table_name(ID,Name,Location) VALUES (1232346, 'Bob', 'France')


I've been looking at the reference manual online for my version of the program (5.6.15) and according to that there shouldn't be need for anything additional in my statement. But when I put it into the SQL query it gives me an error at the first bracket that...




"(" is not valid at this position for this server version, expecting: VALUE, SELECT, SET, VALUES, WITH




What can I do to fix this?

    I don't suppose that your version of MySQL requires a space here: table_name (ID,?

Based on the manual for insert, use a space after the table name:



INSERT INTO table_name (ID,Name,Location)
VALUES (1232346, 'Bob', 'France')

May be the ID column is an autoincrement column and should not be explicitly assigned?
Have you tried



INSERT INTO table_name(Name,Location) VALUES ('Bob', 'France')

  • ID isn't an auto-increment column but i removed it anyway and it still gave me the original error

Turns out there were two things wrong with my original.
The first was that there was a typo with one of my column names.
The second was that there was a different number of columns and values that I had given.
