Can't use column name “desc” in mysql

Question

INSERT INTO movie (id, title, desc, released, views, featured) VALUES (\'\', \'title\', \'
\\r\\n    description
\\r\\n\', \'2006-12-12\', \'0\', \'0\')

Answer 1

desc is a mysql reserved word. you must use backticks `` with the columns which are reserved words.

INSERT INTO movie (id, title, `desc`, released, views, featured)...

You should avoid using reserved words as column name or must use backticks (``)

Answer 2

The word desc is a reserved word and must be in backticks when used as a column name.

INSERT INTO movie (id, title, `desc`, released, views, featured) VALUES
-- ...etc...

I'd also advise you not to use desc as a column name in future as it is confusing and will just cause problems. You could use description instead, for example.

Answer 3

DESC is a reserved word of MySQL and if you use it for naming consider using `desc`.
