Question

Hoping someone can help me with this: I have a rather long query (about 200 values, shortened here) that I listed below. When I run in mysql I get a weird response: the query does not excecute, but I do not get an error message. When I hit “go” it takes me to a blank page with a # sign in the left hand corner! Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Seems really bizzare.

Here’s the query.

INSERT INTO staff_access (user_name, user_type) VALUES 
("username1", "reg"), 
...
("username199", "co-op"),
("username200", "co-op"); 

Note – my unique key is an auto-incremented column “user_id”, which I did not include in the INSERT INTO query… Not sure if that is relevant.

Thanks for any feedback

remove this

 ORDER BY user_name DESC

order is used in SELECT statment not INSERT

you can get them ordered when you SELECT them
