“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

This error creeps in if we make some spelling mistake in entering the variable name. Like in stored proc, I have the variable name x and in my insert statement I am using

insert into tablename values(y);

It will throw an error column not allowed here.
