oracle error, column not allowed here

Question

I haven\'t used Oracle for a while so I\'m a bit rusty.

This is my table:

create table calendar(
username VARCHAR2(12),
content VARCHAR2(100),
dateConten         


        

Answer 1

You need to put quotes round the varchar2 values

Something like

insert into calendar(username, 
                     content, 
                     dateContent, 
                     type) 
  values('chris', 
         'assignment due', 
         to_date('01-OCT-2010 13:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'), 
         'PUB');
