Help with SQL "INSERT INTO " syntax

Re: Help with SQL "INSERT INTO " syntax

Try
INSERT INTO LoginInfo (username, password, datafile) VALUES ('a',
'0cc175b9c0f1b6 a831c399e269772 661',@ 'H:\CommConn\us erdata\a.xml')

Notice the @ sign. "\" is an escape character. You have to use 2 '\'s if you
dont use the @ sign.

Re: Help with SQL "INSERT INTO " syntax

I was using Visual Basic, and did not believe that to be the problem.
I tried anyway, used the @ symbol. That didn't work, so I tried using
'\\' instead. Finally, I removed the last field altogether and had
just:

INSERT INTO LoginInfo (username, password) VALUES ('a',
'0cc175b9c0f1b6 a831c399e269772 661')

and the query still failed.

I'm totally lost now.

How are you executing this? C# or VB don't know anything about SQL commands.
You will have to use some sort of SqlCommand to send this sql-statement
to the database.

If this is not the problem, show some more code about how you are trying
to use it.

A few things. First, are you building the insert string? If so, are
you positive it's building the way you think it is?

Always try the sql statement in query analyzer to see if your SQL
statement is valid, or if you're building a poor SQL statement.

What error are you getting? Have you tried putting username and/or
password into [square brackets] in case they are reserved words? Is
the username field large enough for the size of the data you're trying
to put into it? Is there any validation on the database which is
rejecting your data for violating constraints, primary key etc?

Re: Help with SQL "INSERT INTO " syntax

It looks to me like it may be a data type exception, if the second column is
of SQL type uniqueidentifie r, which is the same thing as a guid. The format
looks similar to the uniqueidentifie r binary format, which would not have
single quotes around it. A uniqueidentifie r value in a query should only
have single quotes around it when it is in the string format
'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.
