Question

I have a database with a bunch of stuff in it, and right now I’m reading in data, doing some processing on it, and then sticking it in a new database. My code generates this string:

query_string = "INSERT INTO OrgPhrase (EXACT_PHRASE,Org_ID) VALUES (HELLO,123)"

Then it’s used this way:

Dim InsertCmd = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand(query_string, connection)
InsertCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

The associated database (OLEdb connection) exists and opens fine, with all the tables and columns it’s trying to work with already existing. The error message I get is “No value given for one or more required parameters”

Am I missing something? Did I spell something wrong? I don’t have a ton of experience with database work, but I’ve never had this trouble inserting before.

Answer 1

I believe the query should be

query_string = "INSERT INTO OrgPhrase (EXACT_PHRASE,Org_ID) VALUES ('HELLO',123)"

Also, it may happen that the table has more than 2 columns that are NOT NUll and the values to them are required.
