I have had this same coding working for quit some time but now for some reason it has been giving me an error... if someone can please help me to understand what is wrong with my code I would really appreciate it.


Code:
INSERT INTO guest (id, make)
VALUES ('81211', 'Honda');

What is the error?

If the "id" field in the "guest" table is set to auto-increment you may not be able to insert a value manually.

i found the problem... it is with the 'make'. 'make' is a key word in some versions of mysql. And it does not like it in the version that i am running.

However, 'id' is on auto-increment and there is no problem if you do assign it a value.

Unless that value already exists. In which case it will fail or it will insert it anyway and mess up the whole system because your id's are no longer unique.

So, while it may work... It's not a good idea.

True true... but within my code I check to make sure there is no doubles of a key.

Plus mysql will fail if there is a key that is the same.
