Question

I am creating a small CMS for a school assignment and I tried this piece of SQL code in phpMyAdmin:

INSERT INTO subjects (
                menu_name, position, visible
            ) VALUES (
                '{Test item}', {4}, {1}
            )

But it doesn’t works. It tells me:

#1064 – 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 ‘4}, {1} )’ at line 4.

Could someone please explain to me what I am doing wrong.

Answer 1

Why adding braces? This should work:

INSERT INTO subjects (
  menu_name, position, visible
) VALUES (
  'Test item', 4, 1
)
