I'm getting a syntax error when I try to insert more two
sets of values into a table.
I have looked at the manual on the insert statement, and
don't see what is wrong.
Can someone tell me.
Here's the info.
mysql> describe book;
+-----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra
|
+-----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| booknum | int(20) | | PRI | NULL |
auto_increment |
| isbn | varchar(14) | YES | | NULL |
|
| title | varchar(50) | YES | | NULL |
|
| authlname | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL |
|
| authfname | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL |
|
| publisher | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL |
|
| pubdate | date | YES | | NULL |
|
| dewey | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL |
|
| lcnum | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL |
|
| checkin | date | YES | | NULL |
|
| checkout | date | YES | | NULL |
|
| duedate | date | YES | | NULL |
|
+-----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
12 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here's the attempt:
mysql> INSERT into book(
-> isbn,
-> title,
-> authlname,
-> authfname,
-> publisher,
-> pubdate,
-> dewey,
-> lcnum
-> )
-> values (
-> '1-56592-434-7',
-> 'MySQL & mSQL',
-> 'Yarger',
-> 'Randy Jay',
-> "O'Reilly",

-> ),
-> values(

-> 'Coup de Grace',

-> 'PS3552.O756 C68 2000'
