Insert Into Statement

    Hi,

    I am getting "incorrect syntax near ','" error while inserting data into database. The reason, I am having this error is that I have Insert into statement as

    INSERT INTO TableName VALUES ('column1', 'column 2', 'column 3', , 'Column 5', 'Column 6')

    Now you see the comma after column 3 is giving an error. So, at Column 4 I am trying to insert null value for Integer data type.

    So, definitely, I am doing something wrong here. My question is then, how to insert a null value in column with datatype integer.

    Thanks,

    there are two ways;

    you can not refer to the column at all, or you need to use the NULL keyword explicitly:

    --define the columns being inserted, skip #4

    INSERT INTO TableName (col1, col2, col3 , col5, col6)

    VALUES ('column1', 'column 2', 'column 3', 'Column 5', 'Column 6')

    --or

    INSERT INTO TableName VALUES ('column1', 'column 2', 'column 3',NULL , 'Column 5', 'Column 6')
