SUMMARY
=======
On Page 155 in the Developer's Guide, an INSERT INTO command is given to insert
a record into the Customer table of the Tastrade database. When this code is
typed into the Command window or in a program, a 'Syntax error' message is
displayed. Because an apostrophe is used in the text to be added for the Company
field, the Company data needs to be enclosed in double quotation marks.
MORE INFORMATION
================
This incorrect code:
INSERT INTO customer (cust_id, company, contact) ;
VALUES ('SMI007', 'Smith's Delicatessen', 'Sarah Smith')
should be:
INSERT INTO customer (cust_id, company, contact) ;
VALUES ('SMI007', "Smith's Delicatessen", 'Sarah Smith')
