MySQL Syntax Error, Can't Figure it Out - mysql

Question

I have the following MySQL statement to insert a lot of data into a lot of columns in a table:
INSERT INTO survey (lang,check,lname,fname,age,dob,dlang1,dlang2,dlang3,dlang4,dlang5,alang1,alang2,alang3,alang4,alang5,expperc1,expperc2,expperc3,expperc4,expperc5,readperc1,readperc2,readperc3,readperc4,readperc5,speakperc1,speakperc2,speakperc3,speakperc4,speakperc5,culture1,culture2,culture3,culture4,culture5,eduyears,eduother,immi, ...
I get the following error when I try to run the statement:
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the
manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near '"INSERT INTO survey
(lang,check,lname,fname,age,dob,dlang1,dlang2,dlang3,dlang4,' at line
1
I thought that to insert data into specific columns I'm supposed to list out all of the column names in ()s, as I've done. Am I missing something here?
For reference, here's the full statement, although the syntax error should have been reached before most of this, right?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Judging from the error message your immediate problem is caused by fact that you have extra double quotes around your INSERT statement or at least at the begging right in front of INSERT
"INSERT INTO survey (lang,check,lname,fname,age,dob,dlang1,dlang2,dlang3,dlang4,
^^
Other than that check is a reserved word in MySQL, so put it in backticks '`'.
Also you better put values in single quotes rather than double quotes.
That being said your INSERT statement should rather look like
INSERT INTO survey (lang,`check`,lname,...) VALUES ('0','on','',...)
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^

Answer 2

Please quote all columns name. see exp below
INSERT INTO survey (`lang`,`check`,`lname`,`fname`,`age`,`dob`...
