Question

I am a student this is homework... The tables are there but data isn\'t being inserted.

Thanks for any advice

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 181
Incorrec         


        

Answer 1

You have an INSERT INTO Employee... in there without a VALUES clause (The one after "Ledonna")

Note if you double click on the error message in Management Studio it should take you to the problem bit of code.

Answer 2

There's your problem:

INSERT INTO 
Employee 

(Last_name,
First_name,
Address,
City,
State,
Telephone_area_code,
Telephone_number,
Job_title,
Hire_date,
Wage,
Gender, 
Race,
Age)

INSERT INTO 
Employee 

(Last_name,
First_name,
Address,
City,
State,
Telephone_area_code,
Telephone_number,
Job_title,
Hire_date,
Wage,
Gender, 
Race,
Age)

VALUES 
('Drohos',
'Craig',
' ',
'Selano Beach',
'CA',
'619',
'555-0202',
'Assistant Manager',
'6/15/2000',
'$51,000.00 ',
'M',
'Caucasian',
32);

Look at the error message, at line 181.

You need to have values with your insert statement.

Answer 3

You missed a value block:

Hire_date,
Wage,
Gender, 
Race,
Age) -- MISSING VALUES HERE

INSERT INTO -- THIS IS LINE 181
Employee 

(Last_name,
First_name,
Address,
City,
State,
Telephone_area_code,
Telephone_number,

find the "Go to line" option in your editor it will help you to find the wrong line
