Spaces were not the problem here. "desc" is a reserved word, which makes it a poor choice for a column name, as you'll have to quote it with backticks (~) every time you use it.

look *carefully* at the insert syntax, paying attention to spaces and the like:

   INSERT INTO tbl_name () VALUES()

the error message gives a good hint too.

Subject: insert into text field

Hi all,

There's a problem. When I try to inert into table with

insert into schedule (owner, desc, sch_for, status) values ('a',
'b', 'c', 'd')

I get error

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 'desc, sch_for, status) values'

The desc field is of 'text' datatype. If that's the reason, what is
the right syntax to insert into text field?

Please help me

Thanks in advance
