“column not allowed here” error in INSERT statement

Question

I created this table called LOCATION by doing this:

CREATE TABLE LOCATION(
POSTCODE VARCHAR(10) PRIMARY KEY,
STREET_NAME VARCHAR(20),
CITY VARCHAR(20));
         


        

Answer 1

Some time, While executing insert query, we are facing:

Column not allowed here

error. Because of quote might missing in the string parameters. Add quote in the string params and try to execute.

Try this:

INSERT INTO LOCATION VALUES('PQ95VM','HAPPY_STREET','FRANCE');

or

INSERT INTO LOCATION (ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME) VALUES('PQ95VM','HAPPY_STREET','FRANCE');
