Question

I am getting an SQL syntax error but I’m not quite sure why. This is the error code I am obtaining;

android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: near "GCSE": syntax error (code 1): , while compiling: SELECT foreign_word,english_meaning,correct FROM vocab_words WHERE name = AQA GCSE Spanish Higher

Any suggestions to fix this – I don’t know what the error is?

Answer 1

when the column’s data type is string, its value should be wrapped with single quote.

SELECT foreign_word,english_meaning,correct 
FROM vocab_words 
WHERE name = 'AQA GCSE Spanish Higher'
