SQL query INSERT column count error - mysql

Question

I have removed 'age_range' from this query.
INSERT INTO `filters` (`id`, `user_id`, `profession_preference`, `country`, `city`, `order_by`, `profession_orientation`, `age_range`, `distance_range`, `location_dating`) VALUES
(9, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(10, 12, 3, 'Egypt', '', 2, 1, '', '', 0),
(11, 19, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(13, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(14, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(15, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(25, 121, 3, 'All Countries', '', 3, 1, '18,23', '0,500 ', 0),
(26, 316, 3, 'United States', '', 3, 1, '17,25', '0,500', 0);
I executed again and receive this error:
MySQL said: Documentation
#1136 - Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

Answer 1

When you insert a record, it matches the values in the VALUES list to the columns in the columns list by comma-separated position. So, this insert statement:
INSERT INTO `foo` (`A`, `B`, `C`)
VALUES ('valueA', 'valueB', 'valueC')
It will insert valueA into column A, valueB into column B, etc. because they match positions in their respective lists. If you remove B from the columns list and leave VALUES alone, it will not attempt to insert valueA into column A, but valueB into column C because they now match value positions, but it won't know what to do with valueC because there are now more values than columns, so since you removed the column from the second position, you would also need to remove the value from the second position.
So back to your query, you would need to determine which position age_range occupied in the columns list and remove the values from the same position in the values list.
Does that make sense?

Answer 2

You have 9 columns defined in your insert statement and you are trying to insert 10 values. you either need to add another column definition or remove from your values.

Answer 3

According to rule the column name define and provided values count should be same. In your case one column value in extra.

Answer 4

As the documentation says
"Column count doesn't match value count"
You specify 9 columns (id, user_id, profession_preference, country, city, order_by, profession_orientation, distance_range, location_dating) in your insert statement
and you are trying to insert 10 values.
You have to remove one value or add another column

Answer 5

Before removing column this is the script which will work
CREATE TABLE filters (id INT, user_id INT, profession_preference INT, country VARCHAR(50), city VARCHAR(50), order_by INT, profession_orientation INT, age_range VARCHAR(50), distance_range VARCHAR(50), location_dating INT);
INSERT INTO filters (id, user_id, profession_preference, country, city, order_by, profession_orientation, age_range, distance_range, location_dating) VALUES
(9, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(10, 12, 3, 'Egypt', '', 2, 1, '', '', 0),
(11, 19, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(13, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(14, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(15, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(25, 121, 3, 'All Countries', '', 3, 1, '18,23', '0,500 ', 0),
(26, 316, 3, 'United States', '', 3, 1, '17,25', '0,500', 0);
Now since you removed age_range column, below script will work:
INSERT INTO filters (id, user_id, profession_preference, country, city, order_by, profession_orientation, distance_range, location_dating) VALUES
(9, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '0,500', 0),
(10, 12, 3, 'Egypt', '', 2, 1, '', 0),
(11, 19, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '0,500', 0),
(13, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '0,500', 0),
(14, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '0,500', 0),
(15, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '0,500', 0),
(25, 121, 3, 'All Countries', '', 3, 1, '0,500', 0),
(26, 316, 3, 'United States', '', 3, 1, '0,500', 0);
I removed third last column from insert script.
Hope this helps!
