INSERT INTO statement in SQL Server

Question

I am trying to enter information into my table named Food_Log.

INSERT INTO Food_Log
(Person, Food, ServingSize, Date, Meal);
VALUES
(John,\'Cheerios\',2,\'         


        

Answer 1

Remove the ; before VALUES

INSERT INTO Food_Log (Person, Food, ServingSize, Date, Meal)
VALUES ('John','Cheerios',2,'2014-04-01','Breakfast');

And date format is normally YYYY-MM-DD. And you forgot the quotes around John
