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 [random snippet of query code]
I am very rarely able to deduce something of value from MySQL errors like that one, is there any way to get some more specific data?
I’ve seen people dismiss this question saying that it’s impossible to get exact error data because of how MySQL’s syntax works. Is that really so?
Sometimes it helps to break down your query into several lines instead of just one long one. This will still show you only the approximate position of your error, but it might help a bit.
