    You’re enclosing the table/field names in single-quotes. You need to do it with back-ticks (or nothing, depending on the name).

    INSERT INTO `images` (`filename`, `creator`, `date`, `notes`) VALUES ('cat.sdf', 'michaelamici', '2002-07-05', 'SDfdddfdffddffdfgs')

    Just in case you’re interested, a list of reserved names (which must be quoted if used as a table or column name) can be found here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/reserved-words.html.

    Also, to find out what characters may be included in an unquoted name and which can appear only as part of a quoted name, see here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/identifiers.html.

    N.B. the relevant MySQL version.
