Syntax Error

What This Error Means

This error occurs when the SQL syntax is incorrect or does not match the expected format. It can be caused by missing or incorrect keywords, parentheses, or semicolons.

Why It Happens

This error typically happens when a SQL statement is missing a required keyword or is using an outdated syntax. For example, if a query starts with 'SELECT' without a preceding 'INTO' keyword, it can cause this error.

How to Fix It

1. 1To fix this error, you need to identify the incorrect syntax and correct it. Check your SQL manual or documentation for the correct syntax for the specific SQL statement you are using. In this case, you can modify the query to include the 'INTO' keyword, like this:
2. 2// Before (broken code)
3. 3SELECT * FROM users
4. 4// After (fixed code)
5. 5INTO new_table
6. 6SELECT * FROM users

Example Code Solution

CREATE TABLE users (
  id INT,
  name VARCHAR(255)
);

CREATE TABLE users (
  id INT,
  name VARCHAR(255),
  email VARCHAR(255)
);
