Hey there everyone,
I'm trying to get a table of computer parts manufacturers populated with
a list culled from my distributor and I'm having a devil of a time
getting anything to work. I'm totally new to MySQL and don't really
know my SELECT from a hole in the ground just yet...which is probably
the entire problem. ;) Anyways.....
I'm trying to do this
INSERT INTO `manufacturers` (`manufacturers_name`,
`manufacturers_image`) VALUES (`CREATIVE_LABS`,
`manufacturer_CREATIVE_LABS.gif`);
to this table
CREATE TABLE `manufacturers` (
`manufacturers_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`manufacturers_name` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
`manufacturers_image` varchar(64) default NULL,
`date_added` datetime default NULL,
`last_modified` datetime default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`manufacturers_id`),
KEY `IDX_MANUFACTURERS_NAME` (`manufacturers_name`)
) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=11 ;
and keep getting this:
Error
SQL-query :
INSERT INTO `manufacturers` ( `manufacturers_name` ,
`manufacturers_image` )
VALUES (
`CREATIVE_LABS` , `manufacturer_CREATIVE_LABS.gif`
)
MySQL said:
Unknown column 'CREATIVE_LABS' in 'field list'I know 'CREATIVE_LABS'
isn't a colunm, and I didn't tell anyone that it was either. Why is
this thing convinced that it is? help???
Back quotes are used for table and field names.
Use single quotes for values:
INSERT INTO `manufacturers` ( `manufacturers_name` ,
`manufacturers_image` )
VALUES (
'CREATIVE_LABS' , 'manufacturer_CREATIVE_LABS.gif'
)
