According to Wikipedia this syntax looks correct…

INSERT INTO dbo.metadata_type ("name", "publishable") 
VALUES
("Content Owner", 0),
("Content Coordinator", 0),
("Writer", 0),
("Content Type", 0),
("State", 1),
("Business Segment", 0),
("Audience", 0),
("Product Life Cycle Stage", 0),
("Category", 0),
("Template", 0)

I’m getting errors. I’ve tried wrapping the column names in ` but that didn’t work either…

Error code 207, SQL state 42S22: Invalid column name ‘Content Owner’.
Error code 207, SQL state 42S22: Invalid column name ‘Content Coordinator’.
Error code 207, SQL state 42S22: Invalid column name ‘Writer’.
Error code 207, SQL state 42S22: Invalid column name ‘Content Type’.
Error code 207, SQL state 42S22: Invalid column name ‘State’.

    In SQL Server, string values are delimited by ', not".

    Also, column names should either be enclosed in square brackets, or left as they are (if they don’t contain spaces).

    Your query should, therefore, look like this:

    INSERT INTO dbo.metadata_type (name, publishable) VALUES
    ('Content Owner', 0),
    ('Content Coordinator', 0),
    ('Writer', 0),
    ('Content Type', 0),
    ('State', 1),
    ('Business Segment', 0),
    ('Audience', 0),
    ('Product Life Cycle Stage', 0),
    ('Category', 0),
    ('Template', 0)
