Hi,
Quotation marks should be around both the name of each and every column and their values. As the columns names are all lower case. You may wish to remove all quotation marks which is much easier. But character value needs quotation mark. Also replace the semi-column as column separation character with commas for sql insert statement. What has happened here is that the values from CSV are directly inserted into sql. It needs a little bit of extra work. Hope this helps.
