'usage VALUES('16','143','ew','weff','25-3-2010','8.00 AM','22-3-2010','10.00 AM''

at line 1 in:

INSERT INTO usage 
VALUES('16'
      ,'143'
      ,'ew'
      ,'weff'
      ,'25-3-2010'
      ,'8.00 AM'
      ,'22-3-2010'
      ,'10.00 AM'
      ,'wfsdc'
      , '34'
      ,' frsdfr '
      ,'TEST 1'
      ,'ISMAIL SALLEH'
      ,'efsdc'
  )

I’ve no idea where is the error… I’m staring on this for 2 hours, but really cannot find the error.

Answer 1

Try:

INSERT INTO `usage` VALUES ....

You simply need to wrap the table name in backticks, because USAGE is a reserved word in MySQL.
